Published: March 2022

Abstract The objective of this work was to carry out the morphological characterization of strawberry fruit of different genotypes, as well as to verify their postharvest conservation. Six commercial cultivars (Albion, Aromas, Dover, Festival, Pircinque, and San Andreas) and nine experimental clones (MDA01, MDA19, MDA22, MDA23, MCA89, MCA94, MFA443, MOGSC468, and MFA443PR) were evaluated. Fruit were produced on semi-hydroponic gutters in protected cultivation and classified according to size, shape, color, brightness, achene position, pulp color, “heart” color, fruit cavity, and sepal position. For the postharvest analysis of fruit, the loss of mass and the appearance of fruit during ten days of storage were determined. The evaluated genotypes show a high similarity to each other regarding morphological characterization. MCA89 and 'Pircinque' are the most divergent genotypes in relation to the others. There is an association between the characteristics large cavity, reniform shape, and medium cavity, which contributes to the indirect selection of desirable characters. On the tenth day of storage, the MDA01, MDA19, MCA89, MFA443, and 'Dover' genotypes still show acceptable conditions for commercialization.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the yield, leaf area, stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, transpiration, and critical fraction of transpirable soil water (FTSWc) of hybrid and landrace corn (Zea mays) genotypes, as affected by the water deficit characterized by the FTSW. Two experiments were carried out in the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 crop years: one in the field and the other in a greenhouse. The following genotypes were evaluated in irrigated and nonirrigated systems: the Cinquentinha and Bico de Ouro landraces and the AS 1573PRO improved cultivar. Yield in the field was higher for 'AS 1573PRO', followed by Bico de Ouro and Cinquentinha in both evaluation years. Water deficit reduces stomatal opening, photosynthesis, and transpiration rate, resulting in the total closure of the stomata of 'AS 1573PRO' and Bico de Ouro, and in the partial closure of those of Cinquentinha. There was a reduction in the leaf area of 'AS 1573PRO', Bico de Ouro, and Cinquentinha under water deficit during the reproductive period. In the first crop year under water deficit conditions, 'AS 1573PRO' and Cinquentinha show a high tolerance to water deficit with a FTSWc of 0.71, and 'AS 1573PRO' also shows the highest tolerance in the second crop year with a FTSWc of 0.73. Moreover, Bico de Ouro is sensitive to water deficit in the two crop years.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency and the residual effects of both molten and ground alkaline potassium-silicate rocks (K1) and of ground phonolite rock (K2), as sources of potassium, compared with the traditional source (KCl), in grain crop successions. Two experiments – one with the succession soybean-wheat-corn and the other with the succession corn-millet-soybean – were conducted on a Typic Haplorthox in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. The treatments consisted of three sources (KCl, K1, and K2) and four rates of K (corresponding to 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 times the recommended rates for soybean and corn). The used sources did not affect leaf K concentration in soybean, but KCl and K2 similarly increased leaf K concentration in corn. Regardless of the source, K application increased the yield of all crops. The K1 and K2 sources present agronomic efficiencies equivalent to that of KCl. K1 and K2 show a more pronounced residual effect than KCl, especially on crops grown approximately one year after their application and under K rates above those recommended for the crops.
A method for considering the influence of distinct casting stages in the flexural design of prestressed concrete cross sections
Authors: Trentini Eduardo Vicente Wolf , Parsekian Guilherme Aris , Bittencourt Túlio Nogueira
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT Composite elements are structures of concrete, or other materials, constructed in different casting stages that act jointly under external loads. These elements are used when it is intended to combine the constructive advantages of precast structures with the monolithic behavior of cast-in-place structures. In regular civil engineering applications, such as the construction of a bridge or viaduct, the precast section is used as shoring before casting the slab in place. This process leads to imposed deformations prior to the ultimate limit state and a discontinuity in the specific strain of the composite cross section. This work proposes a methodology to design composite cross sections, built in two casting stages, evaluating the specific strain provided the construction process that can be easily implemented in precise computational routines. From applying the methodology on study-case numerical example, it is observed that the beam casted in two stages presents a factored moment resistance smaller than an identical beam casted in a single stage. However, further investigations should be conducted to assess the extent of this difference.
On causatives – A comparison between European Portuguese and Mandarin Chinese
Authors: Yao Jiaojiao
Published: March 2022

Based on the caused eventuality, causation can be subdivided into the causation of activity and causation of change of state. By analyzing how causatives are expressed in European Portuguese and Mandarin Chinese, this study shows that these two languages exhibit quite many differences in expressing causation of change of state. We observe that many Portuguese verbs that intrinsically involve causative meanings do not have Chinese equivalence in simplex verb forms – their Chinese counterparts may take complex forms, including a construction we call Causative Resultative V-Vs (CR V-Vs). Differences are also found in the derivational process: whereas anticausation plays a significant role in Portuguese, causation is the primary process in Chinese. We attribute the contrast to different semantics of verb roots in the two languages: Portuguese exhibits plenty of result roots that can intrinsically express caused-result meanings; in contrast, Chinese roots tend to denote either a pure activity or a pure (change of) state, and a causative structure is needed to express causative meanings.

Prevalence of gastric cancer precursor lesions in patients of a secondary care center in a state in south of Brazil
Authors: Dominique Valentina Terebinto , Celso Nilo Didoné Filho , Guilherme Ribas Taques , Michelle Gusmão de Assis
Published: March 2022

Background: Atrophy of the gastric mucosa and intestinal metaplasia is considered malignant precursor lesions of gastric cancer, which is considered the fifth most common neoplasm in the world and the third cause of death from cancer. The main risk factor is the infection by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which increases up to six times the risk of gastric cancer, through gastritis, atrophy, and hypochlorhydria, consequences of the infection. Other risk factors are also worth noting, like smoking and a family history of gastric cancer. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of malignant precursor lesions and their associated factors in patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Methods: A descriptive, observational study was performed based on an analysis of endoscopic gastric biopsies performed in two affiliated private laboratories to the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde [SUS]) in a city in Paraná state. Patients were assessed for age, sex, active or recent smoking, family history of gastric cancer, and previous treatment for H. pylori. The samples were evaluated for the presence of glandular atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, and H. pylori infection. Results: A total of 1,549 medical records and patient reports were evaluated and 945 were eligible, the average age was 52.2 (±14.3) years old and most patients (73.3%) were female. The prevalence of H. pylori infection was 47.5% (n= 449) and the highest percentage was between 30-39 years (58.7%). Among H. pylori-positive (+) patients who had developed intestinal metaplasia, there is more risk of having incomplete than complete metaplasia (OR: 4.34; 1.1–17.1; 95%CI). Patients who smoke are more increase the risk to developed glandular atrophy (OR: 1.91; 1.09-3.33; 95%CI) and intestinal metaplasia (OR: 1.93; 0.72-5.11; 95%CI). Conclusion: The study reinforces risk factors such as smoking and H. pylori infection as precursors for developing pre-neoplastic lesions in a population in southern Brazil, highlighting the importance of smoking cessation and prevention of H. pylori infection and the treatment of infected patients.
Adsorption of Pb2+ ions in aqueous media using the new zeolite nanocomposite adsorbent CaOCdO/ZSM5 synthesized with new techniques
Authors: Meysam Sadeghi , Pourya Zarshenas
Published: March 2022

ZSM-5 `is a porous zeolite material that reveals good activity for the adsorption of heavy metals and other contaminants for effluent purification. In this scientific research, we synthesized the novel CaO-CdO/ZSM-5 zeolite nanocomposite adsorbent and studied the effects of different parameters on the adsorption of Pb2+ ions from water media for the first time. About 99.2% adsorption removal efficiency was obtained after a contact time of 60 min and an adsorbent amount of 0.1g/L for an initial Pb2+ concentration of 200mg/L at pH 8 and temperature of 60oC. The adsorption kinetic fit well via the pseudo-second-order model. Furthermore, the adsorption results were reproduced using the Langmuir isotherm with a maximum adsorption capacity of mg/g. The thermodynamic data displayed that the adsorption of Pb2+ ions over the CaO-CdO/ZSM-5 nanocomposite was endothermic and spontaneous.
EFFECT OF DIGITAL NOISE REDUCTION AND DIRECTIONALITY ALGORITHMS IN HEARING AIDS ON TEMPORAL ENVELOPE DISTORTION AND SPEECH RECOGNITION
Authors: Chinnaraj Geetha , Shetty Hemanth , Palaniyappan Vinodhini
Published: March 2022

Background

Digital signal processing algorithms tend to alter temporal cues in the speech signal and yet individuals with hearing impairment rely strongly on these cues for speech perception. Hence, there is a need to assess the effect of these algorithms on temporal cues and speech perception. The present study aimed to quantify, in a wide dynamic range compression hearing aid, the individual and combined effects of digital noise reduction and directionality algorithms on temporal cues, syllable recognition, and sentence recognition. Temporal cues were quantified by the envelope difference index (EDI).

Material and methods

The study included 20 individuals (in the age range of 21 to 44 years) with mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss. Sentence recognition, syllable recognition, and EDI were obtained at different levels in four different aided conditions – digital noise reduction algorithm only, directionality only, both digital noise reduction and directionality on, and both algorithms off. Sentences were presented in noise at +5 dB signal-to-noise ratio from 180° azimuth.

Results

Compared to independent activation of the algorithms, the combined algorithms significantly improved speech recognition scores at all presentation levels. The temporal changes induced by the algorithms were only mild, even though EDI was the highest when all the algorithms and the directional microphone were activated.

Conclusions

The noise reduction algorithms and compression induce temporal changes; however speech recognition improved when the algorithms were activated, presumably due to countervailing psychophysical factors.
EFFECT OF SOFT TISSUE MOBILISATION ON QUALITY OF LIFE AND PAIN PRESSURE THRESHOLD IN A PATIENT WITH SOMATIC TINNITUS: CASE REPORT
Authors: Sharma Palak , Goyal Manu , Kothiyal Saumya
Published: March 2022

Somatic tinnitus is a condition that results from cervical spine or temporomandibular disorders. It commonly affects 36–43% of the Belgian population. We present a single case experimental design of a 38 year old somatic tinnitus patient having neck pain, headache, and ringing sensation in both ears. Six sessions of soft tissue mobilization were performed for 30 minutes on alternate days for two weeks. Postural re-education exercises were instructed as a home regime. Outcome measures were Visual Analogue Scale, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, and digital calibrated algometer which were evaluated at baseline and after the last treatment session. Following 6 sessions of treatment there was a significant improvement in outcome measures. This study implies positive results of manual therapy on quality of life and pain pressure threshold in somatic tinnitus patients.
Assessment of membrane lipid state at the natural killer cell immunological synapse v1
Authors: Li Yu , S. Orange Jordan
Published: February 2022

The plasma membrane is a fluid structure that protects cells as one of their first barriers and actively participates in numerous biological processes in many ways including through distinct membrane sub-regions. For immunological cells, highly organized sub-compartments of plasma membranes are vital for them to sense and react to environmental changes. This includes a varying spectrum of lipid order in the plasma membrane which signifies or enables cellular functions. Thus, comprehensive analyses of the plasma membrane can facilitate understanding of important cell biological elements which include insights into immune cells. Here, we describe two methods that can be used to assess membrane lipid state at the natural killer cell immunological synapse via high-resolution live cell imaging techniques.
Detailed Western Blotting (Immunoblotting) Protocol v1
Authors: Sule Rasheed , Rivera Gabriela , V Gomes Aldrin
Published: March 2022

Western Blotting, which is probably better referred to as immunoblotting, is one of the most commonly used biological methods worldwide. This technique is capable of detecting an individual protein from a complex mixture of proteins extracted from cells or tissues. The major steps in the Western Blotting workflow are 1) The separation of proteins based on size, 2) The transfer of separated protein to a suitable stable support, 3) Interaction between the target protein and appropriate primary antibodies. In many cases, a secondary antibody that interacts with the primary antibody is used, and 4) Visualization of the target protein using enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL), fluorescence, or colorimetric methods. A detailed protocol to help users get the most out of their Western Blots is presented. Goal: To help Western Blotting users learn what prevents them from having perfect Western Blots The most common result of your experiment: A good Western blot. Another possible result: No signal detected or weak signal Most likely reasons: 1. Antibody was not suitable (poor quality antibody). 2. Insufficent protein loaded on the gel for the amount of antibody used (or antibody too dluted). 3. Transfer efficiency from gel to membrane was poor. 2. ECL reagent was expired or contaminated. 5. Incorrect secondary antibody used. 6. Blocking agent concentration was too high. For more reasons read WESTERN BLOTTING TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

A comprehensive study on the application of firefly algorithm in prediction of energy dissipation on block ramps
Authors: Mahdavi-Meymand Amin , Sulisz Wojciech , Zounemat-Kermani Mohammad
Published: February 2022

In this study novel integrative machine learning models embedded with the firefly algorithm
(FA) were developed and employed to predict energy dissipation on block ramps. The used
models include multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLPNN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), group method of data handling (GMDH), support vector regression (SVR), linear equation (LE), and nonlinear regression equation (NE). The investigation
focused on the evaluation of the performance of standard and integrative models in different
runs. The performances of machine learning models and the nonlinear equation are higher
than the linear equation. The results also show that FA increases the performance of all ap�plied models. Moreover, the results indicate that the ANFIS-FA is the most stable integrative
model in comparison to the other embedded methods and reveal that GMDH and SVR are
the most stable technique among all applied models. The results also show that the accuracy
of the LE-FA technique is relatively low, RMSE=0.091. The most accurate results provide
SVR-FA, RMSE=0.034

Rare case of swallowing foreign bodies
Authors: Evgeniev-Tish E. M.
Published: March 2022

Foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract are quite rare in forensic practice. In the literature we found a relatively small number of such cases. For example, M.I. Avdeev describes a combined suicide in which a suicide victim stabbed himself in the neck and inserted a 35 cm long wooden stick into the esophagus. The stick caused a perforation of the esophagus in its lower part, resulting in purulent mediastinitis, which resulted in death. Diatroptov cites a case of swallowing a knife 28 cm long and 3.5 cm wide. The knife injured not only the esophagus but also the apex of the right lung. Ingestion of foreign bodies is also described by F. Arkhangelsky and S. Krushevsky.

Published: March 2022

The frequency of damage to the spleen with closed abdominal injuries is quite high (L.P. Aleksandrovich - 50%, B.E. Imnaishvili - 25%). Despite this, as well as the very dangerous, sometimes fatal bleeding that accompanies rupture of the spleen, diagnostic errors are not uncommon. Of particular difficulty is the diagnosis of rupture of the spleen, when there is a light interval between the injury, often minor, and the onset of severe internal bleeding. Sometimes the light interval is several days, sometimes months (Yu. Ya. Kulik).

The limb is thoroughly washed, dried and wiped with alcohol (vodka or cologne). The nails are trimmed neatly. The leg is raised at an angle of 35-40 for 30 minutes to reduce swelling. Cotton pads are inserted into the interdigital spaces. Having dipped an ordinary paint brush in a warm composition of zinc-gelatin, they cover the skin of the foot and lower leg from the toes to the tubercle of the tibia with an even layer. Then proceed to the imposition of a bandage 6-8 cm wide with moderate tension without any folds, covering the previous move with the next half. When the bandage does not go in a spiral, it is cut with scissors, and thus they continue to consistently and evenly cover the limb with bandage moves to the intended place. The second and third layers of zinc-gelatin and bandages are also applied. When applied, the dressing should look like a well-fitted stocking. The bandage is applied for 3-4 weeks.

Published: March 2022

Even in the days of Galen and Vesalius, the cerebral appendage was viewed as an organ whose task is to excrete some products. very dark for their purpose. It was only since the creation of the doctrine of internal secretion by Brown-Squard that facts began to accumulate that determined the actual place of the pituitary gland in the group of endocrine glands and indicated its enormous physiological and pathological significance for the human body. One of the main intrasecretory functions of the pituitary gland is undoubtedly considered to be the regulation of the growth of the body, and, as a separate manifestation of it, the effect on the development of the reproductive apparatus, and the latter is due to the action of the hormone of its anterior lobe.

Assessing the Effectiveness of Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test Detector Schemes in Seismic Event Detection and the Avoidance of Nontarget Signals
Authors: Vieceli Rhiannon E. , Dodge Douglas A.
Published: March 2022

Cross-correlation techniques have played a long-standing and pivotal role in seismic event monitoring. However, the performance of correlation-based detectors is challenged by nuisance seismicity, or nontarget signals. Such detections are a problem when the mission is to automatically map events to the correct source region. Using aftershocks of the 2014 Mw 6.0 South Napa, California, earthquake, we demonstrate the effectiveness of utilizing a dynamic correlation processor framework in a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detector configuration to minimize nontarget detections. A GLRT maximizes a detection statistic with respect to one or more unknown parameters. In this case, the detection statistic is a template signal match against the waveform in a window sliding over a data stream, and the unknown parameter is an index variable indicating group membership of the template event or events. Detected events are assigned to the event group that yields the largest detection statistic. Our results show that a GLRT detector will outperform a suite of independently operating correlation and subspace detectors in terms of having a lower nontarget detection rate at a given missed detection rate. We also show that a GLRT detector composed of a few high-rank subspace detectors has a slightly higher nontarget detection rate, but a significantly lower missed detection rate, than a GLRT detector composed of many low-rank subspace detectors. The high-rank GLRT configuration produced impressive results even with marginal data (single channel, single station, and very low time bandwidth product), which bodes well for the utility of building efficient aftershock classification systems and global monitoring systems at larger scales. However, future work is required to assess performance at the regional scale and to assess the performance of the system at detecting target events not used in the detector template creation.

The motivation behind taking the study is to find which of the elements of the marketing mix have the most impact on bank customer satisfaction for the commercial banks at the Rajshahi division in Bangladesh. A survey of 350 commercial bank clients was conducted in the middle of 2020 using a simple random sampling technique. The reliability test, frequency distribution, Pearson's correlation analysis, one-sample t-test, and multiple regression techniques were used to assess the collected data. According to the findings, marketing mix factors impact customer satisfaction for service-oriented firms such as banks as they do for customers of tangible goods. Furthermore, the findings revealed that the attributes of 'People,' 'Price,' and 'Product,' which are elements of the marketing mix for bank settings, are highly correlated and have the most significant effects in predicting customer satisfaction of commercial banks in Rajshahi division of Bangladesh. The findings have important ramifications for bank executives, as they can be used to build future banking strategies based on them.

Bedaquiline (BDQ), a diarylquinoline mycobacterial ATP synthase inhibitor approved in the United States for drug-resistant tuberculosis, is metabolized by CYP3A4, an hepatic enzyme strongly induced by rifampin (RIF), an essential part of drug-sensitive tuberculosis treatment. BDQ is used more broadly in some other countries and has been evaluated for treatment of non-tuberculosis mycobacterial infections, often in combination with rifabutin (RBT). We examined the pharmacokinetic interactions of BDQ plus either RIF or RBT in 33 healthy volunteers. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive two single 400 mg doses of BDQ, given 29 days apart, and either RBT 300 mg or RIF 600 mg, given daily from day 20 to 41 after the first dose of BDQ. Blood samples were collected prior to dosing and at multiple subsequent time points to measure plasma drug concentrations, including those of the rifamycin primary metabolites. BDQ treatment had little effect on the disposition of RIF but resulted in a dramatic shortening of the half-life of RBT and decreased exposure to it. When the drugs were administered together (Day 29) the peak rifamycin concentrations and peak rifamycin metabolite concentrations were reduced significantly (p <0.001). This appeared to result from reduced absorption and raises a concern that doses of BDQ and the rifamycins, particularly RBT should be staggered when the two drugs are given on the same day. The optimum time between dosing should be determined.
Actitudes y condicionantes de los futuros docentes hacia la educación inclusiva: estudio meta-etnográfico
Authors: Pérez Castejón David , Vigo Arrázola María Begoña
Published: March 2022

La actitud o percepciones de los futuros docentes hacia los valores de la diversidad y la educación inclusiva se constituyen como un elemento clave en el logro de una escuela inclusiva. Ante una realidad en la que la educación inclusiva, a pesar de los esfuerzos, no ha llegado a convertirse en una realidad en la práctica educativa interesa profundizar en el conocimiento sobre los posibles condicionantes. El presente trabajo se sirve de 14 estudios etnográficos para el desarrollo de un análisis meta-etnográfico sobre las representaciones de los futuros docentes en formación hacia los valores de la diversidad y la inclusión educativa y los condicionantes o factores que les dan forma. Los resultados muestran la presencia de diferentes perspectivas sobre la diversidad. Entre ellas, un tipo de pensamiento mayoritario a favor de la diversidad y la educación inclusiva pero basado en un acercamiento teórico más próximo a la integración que puede contribuir a perpetuar o mantener prácticas educativas contrarias a los valores de la educación inclusiva. Entre los condicionantes, el trabajo identifica la existencia de una cultura e ideología dominante en el ámbito social y formativo del futuro docente que se puede presentar como resistencia en la construcción del concepto de educación inclusiva.
De la L2 a la L1: una propuesta didáctica basada en la atención a la forma para la mejora de la competencia comunicativa en Secundaria
Authors: Martínez Orozco Javier
Published: March 2022

La mejora continua de la competencia comunicativa de los estudiantes nativos exige una serie de actuaciones concretas en el aula. En este trabajo se ofrece una propuesta didáctica dirigida a determinados discentes de Secundaria que presentan problemas concretos en su propia lengua. Para solucionar esos problemas, partimos de una intervención basada en técnicas provenientes de la enseñanza de idiomas. El objetivo es doble. Por un lado, se pretende dirigir la atención hacia las formas inadecuadas que utilizan algunos hablantes en situaciones que requieren un registro formal. Por otro, se procura facilitar la asimilación de las formas que no suelen producir y que están ampliamente aceptadas en esos ámbitos de uso. A partir de esta alternativa se pretende fomentar el respeto a las distintas variedades lingüísticas y un empleo de la lengua acorde con el contexto en el que se produce la comunicación, aspectos íntimamente ligados al desarrollo personal, académico y laboral de todos los individuos.

Authors: Moreno Andrea , Fernandes Gyna Ávila
Published: March 2022

Entre 1952 y 1954, el libro História da Educação Física e dos Desportos no Brasil surge como la primera obra completa sobre la Historia de la Educación Física brasileña. Compuesto por cuatro volúmenes, incluye hechos sobre la Historia de la Educación Física Brasileña de 1500 a 1946. A lo largo de sus 1.168 páginas, su autor, Inezil Penna Marinho, reúne un conjunto de documentos (actos oficiales, libros y datos cuantitativos) que surgen de investigaciones y los organiza cronológicamente y con énfasis en los hitos políticos de la historia brasileña (Brasil Colonia, Brasil Imperio y Brasil República). A partir de la investigación histórica, tomando los referentes teóricos de la Historia del Libro y de las Publicaciones, buscamos movilizar la idea de que el análisis del libro –como objeto y como fuente– puede contar parte de la historia de la Educación Física y de la formación de profesores/as. Entre los resultados, podemos decir que es una obra de referencia, ya sea por las características de su narrativa, o por el lector al que se pretendía llegar. Además, se trata de una obra realizada con el fin de organizar una narrativa de la historia de la Educación Física en Brasil y ponerla al alcance de todos. La História da Educação Física e dos Desportos no Brasil es parte del curso de formación docente, informando y dando contornos a la Historia de la Educación Física brasileña.
Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of prisoners infected and deceased by COVID-19, National Penitentiary Institute of Peru, 2020
Authors: Sindeev A , Martínez-Álvarez BM
Published: March 2022

Objectives: To describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of inmates who were infected and died from COVID-19 in Peruvian prisons from April to October 2020. Material and method: Descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study with a secondary data source. All the inmates who were infected and died from COVID-19 in Peruvian prisons during the study period were considered. The information was collected through the validated data collection sheet and was analyzed with descriptive statistics applying the SPSS v26 software. Results: 37,103 (42.3%) inmates were analyzed out of a prison population of 87,754. All of them reactive to the rapid test, with a mean age of 39.9 ± 12.6 years; 95.5% were male. 60.1% were IgG reactive; 36.1% were IgM/IgG reactive and 3.8% were IgM reactive. 20.1% of reactive inmates had COVID-19 symptoms at the time of testing. The most frequent symptoms were headache (55.6%), general malaise (49.7%), fever (49.0%) and cough (48.0%). Among the risk factors for COVID-19 were: age over 60 years (8.4%), high blood pressure (2.8%) and diabetes mellitus (2.4%). 445 deaths were registered. Total fatality reached 1.2% of the number of infected. The highest number of deaths was recorded in April and May (89 and 162, respectively). Discussion: The study findings imply different approaches to managing epidemics in the prison context compared to the general population. The short and long term scenarios are uncertain, but the need to reorganize the prison health system, and to prioritise and modernise it are evident. The long-delayed reform of the prison system and the measures that set out to contain the spread of the COVID-19 disease in prisons are related processes in this regard.
Healthy prisons: analysis of health promotion in Catalonian prisons
Authors: Chaer-Yemlahi Serroukh S , Freixenet Ramírez FX
Published: March 2022

Introduction: There is currently sufficient evidence that health can be created through certain strategies combined and maintained long enough to produce measurable results: this is what is called health promotion. The World Health Organization has promoted programs based on healthy environments; among them we highlight healthy prisons. Living conditions in a penitentiary are extraordinarily specific, and involve limitations that can have significant health consequences. However, prisons can be environments for health, since there is the effective possibility of promoting it. Objectives: To analyze the implementation of health promotion in prisons in Catalonia. Material and method: Retrospective and observational cross-sectional multi-centre study, carried out on a sample of 29 nurses who worked in the closed-regime prisons in Catalonia between 2019 and 2020. The information collection instrument is made up of an ad-hoc questionnaire (Annex 1). A descriptive analysis of the socio-demographic variables and the variables of the study was carried out. A comparative analysis is performed using correlation and linear regression models. Results: 82.8% of those surveyed state that a health promotion project is being carried out in the prison where they work, with mental health being the most carried out programs, followed by tobacco and drug cessation. Discussion: The results show that health promotion policies are currently being developed in the Catalan prison environment.

Erasmus Country Ranking: Towards Quality Student Mobility
Authors:   REMIT, Universidade Portucalense, Porto, Portugal, Sobral Sónia Rolland
Published: March 2022

Erasmus is a European Commission program which has been a huge success: more and more higher education students decide to move to one of the 34 countries that belong to the program. This article begins by analysing the reasons behind why students take a semester at another university in another country, and what the motivations for their choices are. The literature review reveals that there are personal, destination and academic reasons. Students who decide to make Erasmus mobility do not know how to choose the higher education institution where they will do said mobility. This article aims to help these students by ranking Erasmus mobility countries following the reasons that are identified in the literature as the most important. To rank Erasmus mobility countries, we use two criteria: destination and academic. The destination was subdivided into 7 items: Adventure, Cultural and Heritage, Safe and Secure, Cost of Living, Geographic Localization, Weather, Language and Sustainable. The academic part was divided into 3 items: research, university quality and sustainable. For each of the items we use the strongest and most reliable indicators. We also compare our ranking with the real number of student mobility for each of the 34 countries.
