The corona virus disease being aware commonly as Covid-19 in passing days among common masses is a novel viral illness of the systema respiratorium, causing a sustained pandemic which is in particular characterized by atypical pneumonia with specific symptoms of mild fever, runny nose with secreted fluid similar to flu, hypoxia, myalgia, anosmia, ageusia, shortness of breath, normal or decreased leukocyte count, ground glass opacities, sore throat and cough without phlegm. It is caused by an epidemic referred as SARS CoV-2 with abbreviation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 nowadays. The procedures to be adopted for the diagnosis of COVID-19 should be based not only on clinical but epidemiological agents also and anyways stand on the link to an assessment and likelihood of the infection. The SARS CoV-2 is diagnosed with different test techniques like serological, molecular and others but most common for it is RT-PCR which is widely used and most reliable one to authenticate the findings of this disease. In the earlier times its detection was too an issue but luckily soon after its threat the scientists and organizations involved themselves and developed strong techniques to get reliable and accurate results with peaceful outcomes. The including such techniques are like immunological assay, amplification technique like RT-PCR (Spin column-and poly amino ester magnetic nanoparticle (pcMNPs) extraction method. Real-time nanopore target sequencing (NTS) and amplification methods) while on the other hands latest in use techniques are Isothermal nucleic acid amplification (as their subcategories include  transcription-mediated amplification (TMA), Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), rolling circle amplification (RCA) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISP), and TMA assay). The novel techniques developed for this particular purpose are Biosensors, Localized surface plasma resonance (LSPR) sensor, the Field effect transistor (FET) and Cell-based potentiometric  biosen.

Coercion, Cooperation, Conflicts and Contempt: Orthodox-Lutheran Relations in Swedish-Occupied Kexholm County, Karelia, in the Seventeenth Century
Authors: Laitila Teuvo
Published: September 2020

The article is about the Swedish religious policy towards the Orthodox (a majority at first, a minority after the mid-1650s) and Orthodox-Lutheran relations at the grassroots level. It shows that in official Swedish policy, the highest authorities urged local functionaries to cautious and non-coercive treatment of the Orthodox, while the latter at times proposed, and partly tried to implement, a forced conversion of the Karelians. Grassroots relations between Orthodox and Lutherans varied greatly, depending on which of them made up a majority in each place, who owned the land, and whether the Lutherans were newcomers. When the Orthodox were a majority the Lutherans conformed with their faith, even converting to Orthodoxy, although this was officially forbidden. When the majority consisted of Lutherans, the Orthodox started to convert or to assimilate to the Lutheran way of life. At the county level, religion as such was not a major factor in transforming the region into a Lutheran one. More important was the way in which religious issues were linked to local social encounters and practices and how the state overtly or covertly attempted to change Orthodoxy and encouraged Orthodox emigration from and Lutheran immigration to the county.

Transdermal Fentanyl patch: An approach to enhance tolerance of conscious proning in COVID-19 patients
Authors: Mammen, MBBS, DNB Sowmia , Yousuf, MBBS, FCPS Beena , Shamsah, MBBS, FRCPC Mohammad
Published: September 2020

The COVID-19 ARDS appears to have worse outcomes than ARDS from other causes. It is a predictable serious complication and the key strategy is to maintain oxygenation. Adopting the prone position for conscious COVID-19 patients requiring basic respiratory support, is shown to benefit patients in terms of improving oxygenation, reducing the need for invasive ventilation and potentially even reducing mortality. Cough and myalgia are the common and most distressing symptoms seen in conscious COVID-19 patients which can impair tolerance to awake proning. Modified awake proning with application of transdermal fentanyl patch (TFP) can improve the compliance to conscious proning in COVID-19 patients.
Systematic urine drug testing for detecting and managing opioid misuse among chronic noncancer pain patients in primary care—The HARMS Program: A retrospective chart review of 77 patients
Authors: Shahi, HBSc Niharika , Patchett-Marble, BSc, MD, CCFP(AM) Ryan
Published: September 2020

The prevalence of opioid abuse has reached an epidemic level. National guidelines recommend safer opioid prescribing practices, including potentially monitoring patients with urine drug testing (UDT). There is limited research evidence surrounding the use of UDT in the context of chronic noncancer pain (CNCP). We evaluated the efficacy of systematic, randomized UDT to detect and manage opioid misuse among patients with CNCP in primary care. The Marathon Family Health Team (MFHT) designed and implemented a clinic-wide, randomized UDT program called the HARMS (High-yield Approach to Risk Mitigation and Safety) Program. This retrospective chart review includes 77 CNCP patients being prescribed opioids, who were initially stratified by their prescriber as “low-risk.” Each month, 10 percent of patients were selected for a random UDT with double testing (immunoassay and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry). The primary outcome measure was UDT leading to a change in management plan. Of the 77 patients in the study, 55 (71 percent) completed at least one UDT during the 12-month study period. Overall, 22 patients had aberrant results. UDT led directly to changes in management in 15 of those patients. Four of those 15 patients were escalated to an addictions program, two were tapered from opioids with informed discussion, and nine were escalated to the high-risk monitoring stream. The results of this study show that in low-risk CNCP patients prescribed opioids, applying systematic UDT in a primary care setting is effective for detecting high risk behaviors and addiction, and altering management. Further research is needed with larger numbers using a prospective study design.

The Isotopx NGX and ATONA Faraday amplifiers
Authors: Cox Stephen E. , Hemming Sidney R. , Tootell Damian
Published: September 2020

Abstract. We installed the new Isotopx ATONA Faraday cup detector amplifiers on an Isotopx NGX mass spectrometer at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in early 2018. The ATONA is a capacitive transimpedance amplifier, which differs from the traditional resistive transimpedance amplifier used on most Faraday detectors for mass spectrometry. Instead of a high-gain resistor, a capacitor is used to accumulate and measure charge. The advantages of this architecture are a very low noise floor, rapid response time, stable baselines, and very high dynamic range. We show baseline noise measurements and measurements of argon from air and cocktail gas standards to demonstrate the capabilities of these amplifiers. The ATONA exhibits a noise floor better than a traditional 1013 Ω amplifier in normal noble gas mass spectrometer usage, superior gain and baseline stability, and an unrivaled dynamic range that makes it practical to measure beams ranging in size from below 10−16 to above 10−9 A using a single amplifier.

Published: September 2020

For the plant breeding, developing a single soybean cultivar that is adapted and stable to multiple production environments has been a major challenge. Therefore, integrating the individual analysis of cultivars to their average response when gathered in groups of relative maturity can be a smart alternative to minimize risks and maximize soybean productivity. Nine soybean cultivars were grouped into four distinct groups as to their relative maturity (from 4.8 to 6.4), and tested in three sowing times (September, October and December) and three growing seasons (2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19) as to their yield performance, adaptability and stability in southwest Paraná, Brazil, latitude 25º41'52 "S, longitude 53º03'94" We, altitude of 509 meters. Performance was evaluated by grouping means, using Scott Knott. For the adaptability and stability analysis, AMMI (Additive Main effect and Multiplicative Interaction), GGE Biplot and Centroid methods were used. The NS 5909 IPRO® and NS 6909 IPRO® cultivars, both close to GMR 6.0, presented superior average performance in most of the evaluated production environments, and the earliest cultivars, with GMR less than 5.4, were the ones that produced less, in general, in different environments. Specific adaptations stood out from the general broad adaptation for the evaluated cultivars. The adaptability of the genotypes was not accompanied by high stability, which contributes to the reduction of the average productivity of the cultivars when exposed to different environments.

El estudio del cual da cuenta este artículo tuvo como objetivo describir las percepciones de los/as docentes en relación a las capacidades adquiridas como resultado de su formación inicial profesional para educar en contextos de pobreza y a las prácticas que realizan para abordar las formas en que se presenta la pobreza en el aula. Se buscó identificar las manifestaciones de la pobreza que los/as docentes reconocen, las acciones que realizan para afrontar dichas situaciones y las autopercepciones sobre la pertinencia de su formación para educar bajo esas condiciones. Metodológicamente, se adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo de alcance exploratorio–descriptivo que se basa en un cuestionario elaborado por el equipo investigador y validado por personas expertas. Los resultados evidencian que los/as docentes definen la pobreza más allá de lo económico. En la escuela la reconocen en la escasez de materiales, la inasistencia de los alumnos, la baja formación de los padres y el descuido hacia sus hijos. Además, los/as docentes confían medianamente en las posibilidades de aprendizaje de sus estudiantes. Se concluye que los/as docentes perciben la pobreza de forma contextualizada y la reconocen en manifestaciones que trascienden lo económico. Finalmente, la reflexión sobre la práctica docente es considerada fundamental para educar en contextos de pobreza.
Infancia y derecho a la participación en el contexto educacional chileno
Authors: Del Río-Naveillan Xaviera
Published: September 2020

El 26 de enero de 1990, Chile suscribe la Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño (CDN), ratificada por la Asamblea General de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas en 1989. La CDN está compuesta por 54 artículos que recogen los derechos fundamentales de la infancia, agrupados en 4 categorías: derecho a la supervivencia, derecho al desarrollo, derecho a la protección y derecho a la participación. Este último constituye el marco de las acciones gubernamentales para fomentar espacios donde los/as niños/as puedan opinar, practicar la democracia, la ciudadanía, así como ser oídos/as y respetados/as en sus planteamientos de manera de generar una cultura de participación e inclusión. El ejercicio de este derecho permite el despliegue de la autonomía y ejercicio de la ciudadanía en la infancia, siendo la escuela el contexto idóneo para su práctica cotidiana. En este artículo se realiza una revisión de la CDN para establecer el marco en el que se desarrollan los conceptos de participación e infancia. A continuación, se analizan las políticas públicas desplegadas para el ejercicio del derecho a la participación en las instituciones educativas chilenas. El propósito de este artículo es contribuir al cuestionamiento y a la visibilización de prácticas relacionadas con la participación de la infancia en contextos educativos, en la perspectiva de aportar a la construcción de una cultura donde la infancia y la juventud sean vistas como otros válidos, soberanos de opinión y, por lo tanto, sujetos activos dentro de nuestra sociedad.

Interaction Among Corporate Governance, Innovation, and Performance in Vietnam’s Banking Sector
Authors: Huynh Quang Linh , Tran Huy Hoang , Nguyen Hong Anh Thi
Published: September 2020

Background/Objectives: The current research tries to investigate effects of the three elements of corporate governance (chief executive officer duality, board independence and size) on banking performance and then analyze the mediating role of innovation on these effects, which are overlooked at Vietnamese banks.Methods/Statistical analysis: The research sample for this research encompassed 78 usable firm-year observations of 25 publicly listed organizations in the banking sector on Vietnam’s three main Stock Exchanges during a 4-year period from 2015 to 2018. To test out the causal hypotheses, the multiple linear regressions were carried out; while to statistically explore the mediating hypotheses, the approaches for testing the statistical significance of mediating effects, proposed by Aroian (1947) were applied.Findings: The empirical findings disclose that good mechanisms of corporate governance in banking can lead to superior banking performance. The empirical results also discover that innovative activities in banking statistically interferes in the causal linkage between corporate governance and banking performance; where innovation fully interferes between the duality of management and banking performance, but it partially interferes in the relations of board independence and board size with banking performance.Improvements/Applications: This research indicates that the banks, in which the positions of the director and chairperson are held by one separate person, may suffer agency costs, so achieve poorer banking performance. Therefore, the banks in Vietnam should assign the positions of the chief executive officer and chairperson to two separate individuals. The banks should hire more independent executives in the managerial board in order to lessen agency costs, so can get better banking performance. Moreover, the banks with larger managerial boards can improve banking performance since they possess better business experience, expertise, skill and other relations that can create substantial resources, so enhance banking success. It also shows that when included into the research model of corporate governance and banking performance, innovativeness in banking should be carefully considered, because it could interfere into this research model.
Predicted Responses of Beaches, Bays, and Inner-Shelf Sand Supplies to Potential Sea Level Rise (0.5-1.0 m) in Three Small Littoral Subcells in the High-Wave-Energy Northern Oregon Coast, USA
Authors: Peterson Curt D. , Doyle Debra L. , Rosenfeld Charles L. , Kingen Kara E.P.
Published: September 2020

Three small subcells (Nehalem, Tillamook, and Netarts) totaling ~55 km shoreline length in the high-wave energy northern Oregon coast are evaluated for potential beach sand loss from sea level rise (SLR) of 0.5–1.0 m during the next century. The predicted erosion is based on beach sand displacement from the narrow beaches (average ~120 m width) to increased submarine accommodation spaces in the innermost-shelf (to 30 m water depth) and in the subcell estuaries (Tillamook Bay, Netarts Bay, and Nehalem Bay), following predicted near-future SLR. Beach sand sources from local rivers, paleo-shelf deposits, and/or sea cliff retreat are discriminated by distinctive heavy-mineral tracers. Modern beach sands in the study area are derived from river sand (~75 %) and paleo-shelf sand (~25 %). The supplies of paleo-shelf sand to the beaches have largely diminished in late-Holocene time. The river-enriched beach sands have been transported offshore to the inner-shelf (0–50 m water depth) to fill increasing accommodation space in the inner-shelf during latest-Holocene conditions of relative SLR (1.0 m ka-1). To evaluate the beach sand response to future SLR, representative beach profiles (n=17) and intervening beach segment distances were compiled to yield beach sand volumes above mean lower low water (MLLW) or shallower wave-cut platforms ‘bedrock’. Across-shore cross-sectional areas, as averaged for each subcell, are as follows; Cannon Beach (304 m2), Tillamook (683 m2), and Netarts (227 m2). Littoral sand displacements to the adjacent innermost-shelf (to 30 m water depth) and the marine-dominated areas of the three estuaries are based on assumed vertical sand accretion rates of 1.0 m per century and a conservative value of 0.5 m per century. The filling of such submarine accommodation spaces will displace all active-beach sand reserves in all three subcells for either the 1.0 m or 0.5 m thickness accommodation space scenarios. Large beach sand deficits, primarily from the filling of offshore accommodation spaces, could cause further retreat of soft-shorelines, including barrier spit and beach plain/dune deposits, in the Tillamook subcell (150-280 m) and in the southern half of the Netarts subcell (370-770 m). The accommodation space approach used to predict beach sand volume loss from future SLR should have broad applicability in complex littoral systems worldwide.
North Platte River-South Platte River Confluence Area Drainage System History as Determined by Topographic Map Interpretation: Western Nebraska, USA
Authors: Clausen Eric
Published: September 2020

Detailed topographic maps of the western Nebraska North Platte River-South Platte River confluence area show a low relief and gently sloping southeast-oriented upland surface, asymmetrical drainage divides, nearly adjacent and parallel east-oriented North and South Platte River valley segments, barbed tributaries, and shallow divide crossings (low points along drainage divides) in a region south of the Nebraska Sand Hills and at the Nebraska loess region’s western margin. Published interpretations of North and South Platte River confluence area landforms (referred to as the accepted paradigm) do not explain most drainage features and are compared with a new paradigm’s interpretations to determine which of the two paradigms explains the regional drainage history and related surface features in a simple and consistent manner. New paradigm interpretations require large sheets of slowly-moving southeast-oriented water to have flowed toward what was probably an actively eroding Republican River valley and to have shaped the upland surface while the Platte and North and South Platte River valleys eroded headward into and across the region so as to create the asymmetric drainage divides, barbed tributaries, and shallow divide crossings. These new paradigm interpretations are consistent with each other and with recently published new paradigm interpretations of upstream North and South Platte River drainage system history. New paradigm interpretations also suggest the adjacent Nebraska Sand Hills developed on a large flood deposited delta (typical of sand dune areas on former glacial lake deltas further to the north) and the slowly-moving sheets of water may have been responsible for some or all of Nebraska’s loess deposits, although the new paradigm leads to a fundamentally different middle and late Cenozoic regional geologic and glacial history than what workers using the accepted paradigm have described.

Published: September 2020

Large-scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) due to the Covid-19 outbreak affected all aspects of life including the performing arts. The prohibition of the crowd which is characteristic of a conventional show forces the creators and performers to adapt. One of the ways taken is to adapt the show in the real world (real) to the virtual world (virtual) and sacrifice a number of aspects of the performing arts. This research develops a performance model of the Dipanegara Storybook which is transformed from the real world performance to the virtual world. This qualitative descriptive study uses an experimental method. Modeling is performed on the performance space, the viewer, as well as interactivity and audience involvement using digital technology, including 3D modeling, motion capture, augmented reality and real time game engine. Based on the developed model, this research has succeeded in identifying a number of aspects that can be adapted, as well as the advantages and disadvantages arising from these adaptations.SeniÂ

Tugas pertahanan nasional sesungguhnya adalah tugas seluruh warga negara, bukan hanya bagi aparatur negara saja khususnya angkatan bersenjata, tetapi juga masyarakat sipil lainnya. Pemerintah Indonesia sebagaimana juga pemerintah lainnya di seluruh dunia menyediakan suatu kementerian yang menangani pertahanan. Melalui Kementerian Pertahanan inilah sejumlah kebijakan yang merupakan keputusan strategis diambil dengan melibatkan banyak pihak, terutama para pakar yang menguasai bidangnya masing-masing. Salah satu metode yang sering digunakan dalam pengambilan keputusan, termasuk di negara-negara maju seperti Amerika Serikat adalah Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari strategi pengambilan keputusan bagi pengembangan pertahanan nasional menggunakan MCDM sebagai sebuah pembelajaran dari Departeman Pertahanan di Amerika Serikat. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa Kementerian Pertahanan Republik Indonesia sebagai kementerian yang secara spesifik mengelola sejumlah agenda kebijakan pertahanan, memerlukan penerapan MCDM dalam pengambilan keputusan-keputusan strategis. Melalui beragam metode yang telah berkembang saat ini diharapkan dapat digunakan dalam membantu, memudahkan, mempercepat, memperjelas, dan mempersingkat pengambilan keputusan tersebut. Pembelajaran dari Departemen Pertahanan Amerika Serikat (Dephan-AS) dalam merumuskan berbagai analisa alternatif bagi implementasi program pengembangan pertahanan, baik militer maupun nirmiliter menjadi pelajaran berharga untuk dapat menjadi model bagi kebijakan pengembangan pertahanan di Indonesia.
Missing concordance between knowledge and efficacy among Danish science teacher students regarding education for sustainable development
Authors: Hansen Mette Hesselholt Henne , Sillasen Martin Krabbe
Published: September 2020

We conducted a nation-wide survey of Danish science teacher students specializing in science subjects,

in order to investigate their knowledge, attitude and self-efficacy on central aspects of education for

sustainable development. Our study finds, in accordance with previous publications, a high degree of

positive attitude towards the importance of teaching sustainability, and a significant positive correlation

between self-efficacy and self-assessed knowledge about the topics in the survey. However, in our study

both self-efficacy and self-assessed knowledge correlate negatively with actual knowledge, indicating

that some of our participants are subject to an overinflated self-assessment while others may underestimate

their proficiency within the topics. In cognitive psychology, this phenomenon is known as the

Dunning-Kruger effect, and we discuss its implications for how best to ensure quality in education for

sustainable development in our schools.
The Potential Impacts of Soy Protein on Fish Gut Health
Authors: Kumar Vikas , Sakhawat Hossain Md. , A. Ragaza Janice , Rubio Benito Marina
Published: September 2020

Soy protein is the major source of protein as fishmeal replacement in fish feed because of its worldwide availability and low price. However, the presence of high carbohydrate content along with saponins, lectins, and phytates can have a negative impact on fish gut health. Based on the literature and our lab studies, dietary soybean meal can cause a dose-dependent type of distal intestine inflammation called enteritis in commercial fish species including salmonids. This leads to reduced absorptive capacity, increased mucus secretion, hyperpermeability, and leucocyte infiltration in the lamina propria and submucosa, also inducing the pro-inflammatory cytokine genes expression, including Il-1β, Il-8, and Tnf-α. In addition, dietary soy may alter the composition and population of the gut microbiota via providing nutrients and energy that preferentially support the growth of some gut bacteria. This chapter summarizes the current knowledge of the effects of soy protein on the enteritis and gut microbiota.
The Ethical Implications of the Intentional Fallacy
Authors: Sparacino Rosanna ,   Ball State University
Published: September 2020

I argue that biographical information is akin to other non-aesthetic, social, historical, or political information. As such, artist’s biographies are always relevant and important when interpreting art. While the meaning and value of a piece of art is not determined by any single piece of contextual information, neither is its meaning and value ever entirely separated from context. In some cases, however, a piece of art that is technically magnificent may be experienced as repugnant when the artist has committed egregious acts.
Freeing Mysticism
Authors: Cooney John ,   Ball State University
Published: September 2020

With the growth of epistemology, an important debate in philosophy of religion has arisen: can mystical encounters—purported feelings of intense unity with the divine—serve as epistemic warrants? In this paper, I examine two of the most prominent and promising standards by which to determine the veridicality of such encounters—those of William Alston and Richard Swinburne—and demonstrate their respective strengths and shortcomings. Considering these shortcomings, I compose and defend my own set of criteria to use in evaluating the veridicality of putative mystical experiences which draws upon the subject’s religious tradition, rationality, and affectivity.

A modified online Delphi survey in an international panel of experts in perinatal pathology, with feedback at group level and exclusion of nonresponders. The survey scoped all possible variables with an open question. Variables suggested by 2 or more experts were scored on a 5-point Likert scale. In subsequent rounds, inclusion of variables and thresholds were determined with a 70% level of agreement. In the final rounds, participants selected the consensus algorithm.

Results.—

Fifty-two experts participated in the first round; 88% (46 of 52) completed all rounds. The consensus definition included antenatal clinical diagnosis of fetal growth restriction OR a birth weight lower than third percentile OR at least 5 of 10 contributory variables (risk factors in the clinical antenatal history: birth weight lower than 10th percentile, body weight at time of autopsy lower than 10th percentile, brain weight lower than 10th percentile, foot length lower than 10th percentile, liver weight lower than 10th percentile, placental weight lower than 10th percentile, brain weight to liver weight ratio higher than 4, placental weight to birth weight ratio higher than 90th percentile, histologic or gross features of placental insufficiency/malperfusion). There was no consensus on some aspects, including how to correct for interval between fetal death and delivery.

Conclusions.—

A consensus-based definition of fetal growth restriction in fetal death was determined with utility to improve management and outcomes of subsequent pregnancies.

Agricultural production of genetically modified products as a means of ensuring food security: European experience in legal regulation
Authors: Rednikova Tatiana Vladimirovna
Published: September 2020

The article deals with the issues of legal regulation of the use of genetically modified organisms in the process of agricultural production in the European Union.The solution to the problems of agricultural production intensification is primarily possible through the use of new modern intensive technologies of crop production, animal husbandry and fisheries, which are also developed on the basis of the latest achievements of the biotechnological industry. One of the directions of intensification of agricultural production is the use of genetically modified crops, which allows increasing the profitability of growing plants, ensuring their increased resistance to negative climatic conditions, pathogens of infectious diseases, etc. The possibility of using such technologies is related to the need to assess their potential risk to the environment and human health.For almost 20 years, the European Union has had a fairly developed system of regulations governing various aspects of the use of genetically modified organisms in agriculture. However, their commercial use in the European Union for various reasons (complexity of administration, negative attitude in society, etc.) has not become widespread over time, and in most member States has now been banned. Taking into account the European experience, the author concludes that it is necessary to use other methods to intensify agricultural production, and the ban on the commercial use of genetically modified organisms in food production is justified due to insufficient scientific data on their safety for human health and the environment
Rural protest in Pernambuco, Brazil: 1964-1968

Published: September 2020

The objective of this article is to re-examine the rural protests and strikes in the sugar industry in Pernambuco, Brazil, between the years 1964 and 1968, and to raise certain issues regarding the process of reorganizing the rural trade union movement after the installation of the military dictatorship in Brazil in 1964.
The organisation of household labour in same-sex couples
Authors: Nico Magda
Published: September 2020

In response to the predominance of heteronormativity in the studies on the household labour, this article explores the way it is organized and distributed in same-sex couples. Qualitative research was carried out on the basis of 20 interviews with members of homosexual couples, and information was collected on the imbalances, negotiation, satisfaction and gendered family legacy in the current organization of householdlabour. Results show that the absence of the sex difference between the members of the couple contributes to more flexible and egalitarian negotiation in the organization of chores. As a consequence of gender socialization, women tend to specialize and men to delegate.

Atypical forms of employment among young people in the European Union
Authors: Oliveira Luísa , Carvalho Helena , Veloso Luísa
Published: September 2020

The article analyses precarious work among the young people in the 27 EU member states. It seeks to contribute to an understanding of the conditions relating to the integration of young people into the labour market in three decades (precisely, in 1988, 1998 and 2008), from a perspective that compares the countries. The information is derived from Eurostat sources; as its central indicator it takes the rate of temporary work and the interrelations between the young people’s qualification levels and the reasons cited for being in temporary work. A multivariate analysis was carried out: principal components analysis for categorical data (CatPCA). This allows us to present the differences between European Union countries, as well as the link between education and labour-market integration processes.
Pupils’ study strategies in relation to socialisation processes
Authors: Dias Paulo Coelho
Published: September 2020

In this article we analyse the time that a sample of Lisbon pupils in grades 5, 7 and 12 dedicate to the most important sources of information available for the study of science: schoolbooks, notes, scientific documentaries (BBC Wildlife, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, etc.), the Internet and CD-ROMs, films and videos, and/or books and scientific journals. On the one hand, the influence of the family and the teacher and, on the other, the pupils’ gender and motivation for science are problematised. The results show that the pupils’ study strategies are basically influenced more by the family than by the teacher. Clearly, the study strategies referred to vary according to the pupils’ social origins, gender, and grade in school (5, 7 or 12).
Democratizing Our Data
Authors: Lane Julia
Published: September 2020

A wake-up call for America to create a new framework for democratizing data.

Public data are foundational to our democratic system. People need consistently high-quality information from trustworthy sources. In the new economy, wealth is generated by access to data; government's job is to democratize the data playing field. Yet data produced by the American government are getting worse and costing more. In Democratizing Our Data, Julia Lane argues that good data are essential for democracy. Her book is a wake-up call to America to fix its broken public data system.

Lane argues that we must rethink ways to democratize data; there are successful models to follow and new legislation that can help effect change. The private sector's data revolution—which creates new types of data and new measurements to build machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms—can be mirrored by a public sector data revolution characterized by attention to counting all who should be counted, measuring what should be measured, and protecting privacy and confidentiality. Just as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook have led the world in the use of data for profit, the United States can show the world how to produce data for the public good.  

Lane calls for a more automated, transparent, and accountable framework for creating high-quality public data that would empower citizens and inspire the government that serves them. And she outlines an organizational model that has the potential to make data more accessible and useful. As she says, failure to act threatens our democracy.

Autophagy under glucose starvation enhances protein translation initiation in response to re‐addition of glucose in C2C12 myotubes
Authors: Nakai Naoya , Kitai Saki , Iida Noriko , Inoue Sachika , Higashida Kazuhiko
Published: September 2020

Proteolysis is known to play a crucial role in maintaining skeletal muscle mass and function. Autophagy is a conserved intracellular process for the bulk degradation of proteins in lysosomes. Although nutrient starvation is known to induce autophagy, the effect of nutrient repletion following starvation on the mTOR pathway‐mediated protein translation remains unclear. In the present study, we examined the effect of glucose starvation on the initiation of protein translation in response to glucose re‐addition in C2C12 myotubes. Glucose starvation decreased the phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase (p70S6K), a bonafide marker for protein translation initiation. Following re‐addition of glucose, phosphorylation of p70S6K markedly increased only in glucose‐starved cells. Inhibiting autophagy using pharmacological inhibitors diminished the effect of glucose re‐addition on the phosphorylation of p70S6K, whereas inhibition of the ubiquitin‐proteasome system did not exert any effect. In conclusion, autophagy under glucose starvation partially accounts for the activation of translation initiation by re‐addition of glucose.
