Published: February 2021

The paper considers the current state of the mineral raw material base and the construction material market of the Rostov Region. The effect of various factors on the strain-stress behavior of local limestones has been investigated. The scientific and technical literary sources devoted to the processes of rock failure under various loads have been analyzed. The experimental studies have shown that the tested samples of limestone with a high content of cuboidal grains have characteristics comparable to those of the crushed granite stone. It has been concluded that the use of the Rostov Region limestones in the construction industry is competitive and feasible, provided the proper implementation of the engineering measures proposed in their production.
Health consumer expectations and perception of quality care services at primary health care level in Nigeria
Authors: Saka Mohammed , Akande Tanimola , Saka Aishat , Oloyede Hassan
Published: February 2021

The success of universal coverage of health at primary health care level depends on patient’s perceptions or judgment on quality products and service rendered by the health personnel in the hospitals. Quality of health care services can be determined by gap between perception of what is offered in term of services and expectation from the health consumers. The study examined the expectations of health consumers and perception used in judging the quality of health care services at the primary health care level. A cross-sectional study was carried out among randomly selected health consumers that had received health care services in the hospitals designated as primary health care facilities in Kwara State Nigeria. Overall health consumers’ means score expectations was 6.57 while perception was 5.80. Though was high in favour of females with no statistical significant difference. However, correlation test revealed significant association in socio-demographic variables such as age, occupation and educational status. Conversely, relationship was inverse in terms of increase in education attainment with lower perception value (p<0.001). Expectation-perception gap was a major determinant of quality of health care services at primary health care levels. Significant relationship occurred between heath consumer’s age, occupation, educational status and overall expectation-perception of quality health care received. It is recommended that hospital management need to monitor the link between the expectations including perception of services received by patients for quality improvement at primary health care level.

Published: February 2021

Context

Researchers have identified sex differences in sport-related concussion incidence and recovery time; however, few have examined sex differences in specific recovery trajectories: time to symptom resolution, return to academics, and return to athletic activity across collegiate sports.

Objective

To examine sex differences in sport-related concussion recovery trajectories across a number of club and varsity sports with different levels of contact.

Design

Descriptive epidemiology study.

Setting

Collegiate varsity and club sports.

Patients or Other Participants

Sport-related concussions sustained by student-athletes (n = 1974; women = 38.8%) participating in Ivy League sports were monitored between 2013–2014 and 2018–2019.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Athletic trainers collected concussive injury and recovery characteristics as part of the Ivy League–Big Ten Epidemiology of Concussion Study's surveillance system. Time to symptom resolution, return to academics, and return to limited and full sport participation were collected. Survival analyses determined the time from injury to each recovery outcome for male and female athletes by sport. Peto tests were used to compare recovery outcomes between men's and women's sports and by sport.

Results

The median (interquartile range [IQR]) was 9 days (IQR = 4–18 days) for time to symptom resolution overall, 8 days (IQR = 3–15 days) for return to academics, 12 days (IQR = 8–23 days) for return to limited sport participation, and 16 days (IQR = 10–29 days) for return to full sport participation. We observed differences overall between sexes for median time to symptom resolution (men = 8 days [IQR = 4–17 days], women = 9 days [IQR = 5–20 days]; P = .03) and return to academics (men = 7 days [IQR = 3–14 days], women = 9 days [IQR = 4–17 days]; P < .001) but not for median time to return to athletics (limited sport participation: P = .12, full sport participation: P = .58). Within-sport comparisons showed that women's lacrosse athletes had longer symptom resolution (P = .03) and return to academics (P = .04) compared with men's lacrosse athletes, whereas men's volleyball athletes took longer to return to limited (P = .02) and full (P = .049) sport participation than women's volleyball athletes.

Conclusions

Recovery timelines between sexes were different. Athletes in women's sports experienced longer symptom durations and time to return to academics compared with men's sports, but athletes in men's and women's sports presented similar timelines for return to athletics.
Lack of Effect of Dopamine Receptor Blockade on SKF83959-altered Operant Behavior in Male Rats
Authors: Liu Pei-Pei , Chao Chih-Chang , Liao Ruey-Ming
Published: February 2021

Dopamine (DA) is important for the performance of operant behavior as revealed by psychopharmacological studies that manipulate the activity of DA subtype receptors. However, the effects of SKF83959, an atypical DA D1 receptor agonist, on operant behavior and the underlying pharmacological mechanisms remain unclear. The present study sought to determine whether blockade of DA D1- and D2-subtyped receptors would reverse the operant behavior altered by SKF83959. Male rats were trained to respond on either a fixed-interval 30 s (FI30) schedule or a differential reinforcement of low-rate response 10 s (DRL10) schedule, two timing-relevant tasks but with distinct reinforcement contingencies. Pharmacological evaluation was conducted with injection of a selective D1 (or D2) receptor antagonist alone or in combined with SKF83959 (1.0 mg/kg) following a stable baseline of behavioral performance. The results showed that SKF83959 treatment alone significantly disrupted the performance of FI30 and DRL10 behaviors mainly by showing the decreases of the response-related measures, and the distinct profiles of the behavior altered by the drug were manifested by the qualitative analysis of inter-response time data on both tasks. The effects of SKF83959 were not significantly affected/reversed by the pretreatment of either SCH23390 or eticlopride injected at the doses of 0.02 and 0.06 mg/kg; however, a subtle reversal effect was observed in the treatment of low-dose eticlopride. Despite that these results confirm the FI30 and DRL10 behaviors changed by SKF83959, the absence of pharmacological reversal effect by DA receptor antagonist suggests that either D1- or D2-subtyped receptors may not play a critical role in the alteration of timing-relevant operant behavior produced by SKF83959.

Published: February 2021

This study aimed to assess the effect of Vitamin C on blood pressure (BP), and subsequently on oxidative stress and nitric oxide (NO) release, following the low-intensity exercise in the patients. This study included 24 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) (age, 53 ± 7 years; hemoglobin A1c, 10.1% ± 0.9%) randomized into two 6-week daily arms based on the consumption of either placebo or 1000 mg Vitamin C. The crossover trial occurred after a 6-week washout. Before and after both supplementation arms, all patients performed cycling exercise at 33% of peak oxygen consumption for 20 min. BP was measured before, immediately, and 60 min after the exercise. Blood samples were drawn immediately before and after the exercise to determine plasma ascorbate, malondialdehyde (MDA), F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs), and NO concentrations. Data showed significant lower BP in the Vitamin C arm when compared with the placebo arm (systolic BP [SBP] P < 0.001 at every time point, diastolic BP [DBP] P < 0.001 except at immediately after exercise, P < 0.05). Plasma ascorbate concentration (P < 0.05 at every time point) and plasma NO (at resting P < 0.001, immediately after exercise P < 0.05) were significantly increased in the Vitamin C arm than in the placebo arm. Plasma MDA (P < 0.05 at every time point) and F2-IsoPs (P < 0.05 at every time point) concentrations were significantly lower in the Vitamin C arm than in the placebo arm. In addition, data showed significantly lower SBP (P < 0.001 at every time point), DBP (P < 0.001 except at immediately after exercise P < 0.05), plasma MDA (P < 0.001 at every time point), and F2-IsoPs (P < 0.05 at every time point) at post-supplementation than at pre-supplementation. Besides, there were significantly higher plasma ascorbate (P < 0.05 at every time point) and NO (at rest P < 0.01, immediately after exercise P < 0.05) concentrations at post-supplementation than at pre-supplementation. This is in contrast to the placebo treatment arm which demonstrated no statistical difference in all outcomes throughout the experiment. This study suggests that 6-week Vitamin C supplementation decreased preexercise and postexercise BPs, possibly due to improved oxidative stress and NO release. However, exercise had no effect on any outcome measures.
Responding to two arguments against the student evaluation of teaching scheme in Nigerian universities
Authors: Ani Emmanuel Ifeanyi
Published: February 2021

Student evaluation of teaching (SET) has been around Universities in the Western and Eastern Hemispheres for a few decades now. SET is making in-roads into the Nigerian tertiary education sector. In this project, I identify two arguments (or assumptions) behind the opposition to the institution of SET in Nigeria. I demonstrate that these arguments/assumptions are incorrect and their worries not enough to scrap the programme. I also show that opposition to SET has been witnessed elsewhere before SET gained acceptance.

Sobre a zona de não-ser e o negro-tema: um debate acerca da produção do conhecimento a partir de Frantz Fanon e Guerreiro Ramos
Authors: Weber Patrícia Amorim , Martins Medeiros Priscila
Published: February 2021

Este artigo busca compreender de que modo o sujeito negro esteve alocado na produção canônica da teoria social moderna a partir das obras de Frantz Fanon e de Guerreiro Ramos. Tendo como método a análise de conteúdo, chegamos à conclusão de que ambos os autores se aproximam ao considerar que esta produção canônica concebeu uma narrativa equivocada acerca da subjetividade e da realidade social do negro ao situá-lo como ser estático e inferior. Assim, com base nos conceitos “zona de não ser”, de Fanon, e “negro-tema”, de Ramos, desenvolvemos nossa reflexão em torno do argumento de que a racialização do sujeito negro impossibilitou o conhecimento pleno de sua experiência social pela produção teórica.

Published: February 2021

Hace dos años, en París, falleció Luis Aurelio Loayza Elías, destacado escritor peruano y miembro correspondiente de la Academia Peruana de la Lengua. A partir de entonces, en distintos diarios y revistas han aparecido varias notas sobre su obra, en las que se destaca la jerarquía de su prosa, y algunos comentarios de carácter biográfico, casi todos relacionados con su vida adulta y su modo de ser parco, poco efusivo. Estos apuntes
se refieren a la parte menos conocida de su vida: su niñez y su juventud; de ahí que, sin negar que sea poco original, lleven el título que creo que mejor corresponde a sus primeros veintitantos años.

Authors: Kumar Pawan , Gupta Sonisha , Asthana Smita
Published: February 2021

Background: There is increasing concern of ambient air pollution as a global threat to humans. The most prominent effect of air pollution is on lung function. The air pollution causes decline in lung function amongst high exposure populations. There are some most vulnerable groups who are chronically exposed to ambient air pollution like traffic policemen, roadside hawkers, Banjara community in India, E-Rickshaw drivers etc. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in East Delhi, India. Spirometry was done for roadside hawkers having high exposure to ambient Air pollution and   working daily for 6-8 hours for the last more than 3 years. The low exposure group was taken from personnel working inside offices. The spirometry parameters of both the groups were compared. Student ‘T’ test was applied for statistical analysis with the help of SPSS software. Results: Comparison of FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio among two groups revealed lower values for the high exposure group which was statistically significant. Among high exposure group the mixed pattern of ventilation defect was observed. Among low exposure group normal pattern of lung function was observed. Conclusion: Roadside hawkers are a vulnerable group to ambient air pollution resulting in their lower values of lung function parameters with resultant mixed ventilator defect and consequently high risk for development of respiratory diseases in the future.

There is a huge demand for the Oxyeleotris marmorata, especially in Asian markets. However, farmers are unable to provide a constant supply of this fish to meet the demand, which is estimated to be around 100 metric tonnes per annum. One of the reasons that are hindering the supply is the low success rate of O. marmorata breeding programs. These breeding programs rely on many factors for their success, one of which is the use of genuine male and female adults, although determining these could be a daunting task. This research was carried out in an attempt to determine a sex marker for the O. marmorata using the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) method. Of the 30×30 AFLP primer mixtures screened, the E-TAA and M-CTT primer pair had an amplified ~600 bp marker that was specific to the female. This ~600 bp AFLP marker was later used to design a 464 bp sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker. Thus, it has been suggested that the SCAR marker obtained has the potential to be used for the sexual identification of the O. marmorata at the juvenile stage, thereby enabling them to be used in breeding programs.

Giảm ùn tắc giao thông và hạn chế sử dụng phương tiện cơ giới cá nhân là mục tiêu của nhiều thành phố lớn trên thế giới. Do đó, đã có rất nhiều nghiên cứu nhằm đưa ra giải pháp cho bài toán ùn tắc giao thông đô thị. Thu phí ùn tắc giao thông (UTGT) như thu giá đường điện tử khi xe đi vào khu trung tâm thành phố là một trong những giải pháp đã được áp dụng thành công ở một số đô thị trên thế giới và được nhắc đến khá nhiều bởi các chuyên gia Việt Nam. Tuy nhiên, cho đến thời điểm hiện tại, dù đã có một vài nghiên cứu cho vấn đề này, nhưng các giải pháp đề xuất vẫn chưa được áp dụng. Một trong những nguyên nhân có thể do dự báo tác động của các giải pháp chưa đủ thuyết phục. Nghiên cứu này giới thiệu một phương pháp đánh giá tác động của giải pháp thu phí UTGT thông qua sử dụng công cụ mô phỏng giao thông VISUM. Kết quả đánh giá tác động thông qua bộ chỉ tiêu được lượng hóa trong nghiên cứu này sẽ thể hiện ở khía cạnh nào đó bức tranh tương lai khi giải pháp thu phí UTGT trong trung tâm Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh (TP HCM) được áp dụng, và sẽ là căn cứ để chính quyền TP HCM thiết kế chính sách thu phí ùn tắc giao thông một cách cụ thể.
Determining the Implementation Status of Benefits Under Magna Carta of Public Health Workers (RA 7305) in the Philippines

Background. The Republic Act 7305 or the Magna Carta of Public Health Workers was enacted in 1992 to address health workers' welfare. However, the implementation of this act was reportedly inconsistent among local government units (LGUs).

Objectives. This study was conducted to determine the implementation status of provisions under the law among LGUs.

Methods. This is a descriptive case study employing mixed methods. The quantitative data were derived from LGU scorecards, and the qualitative data were obtained from focus group discussions and key informant interviews of mayors, municipal health officers, and budget officers.

Results. A total of 1,557 LGU scorecards with 2017 data showed that more than half (52.0%) of LGUs do not provide the full benefits of hazard pay, subsistence allowance, and laundry allowance. Disaggregation by income class showed that the provision of benefits is higher among LGUs with higher income classes (56.10%) compared to LGUs of lower-income classes (38.73%), and this translates to a correlation of income class with the provision of benefits (χ2=59.0, p<0.001). Factors influencing the provision of benefits include the political will of the mayor, the active role of municipal health staff to lobby for their rights, the limited resources of the LGU, the personnel services budget ceiling, the lack of enforcement of the law, and the limiting specifications of the law.

Conclusion. This study demonstrated that the Magna Carta benefits for public health workers in municipalities and cities are inadequately implemented. Local governments must enforce public health workers' rights and benefits, but the national government should aid and ensure its unvarying implementation.
An Assessment of Epidemiologic Burden of Hospitalization for Bronchial Asthma in Acute Exacerbation among Adult Patients Admitted in a Tertiary Hospital in the Philippines: A Pilot Study
Authors: Zamora Mithi Kalayaan S. , Fernandez Lenora C.
Published: February 2021

Objective. This pilot study aimed to determine the epidemiologic burden of hospitalization for bronchial asthma in acute exacerbation.

Methods. We used a descriptive cross-sectional study to describe the demographic profile, comorbidities and level of control of patients admitted for bronchial asthma in acute exacerbation admitted to the Philippine General Hospital from May 1 to October 31 2019. The study computed for the admission rate and compared the average cost of hospitalization (diagnostics, therapeutics and room) using direct costing to the total reimbursable cost from PhilHealth. Associations between patient characteristics (age, type of admission) and hospitalization cost were also determined.

Results. We enrolled 45 patients in the study. The admission rate was 8/month. The mean cost of admission was significantly higher than the reimbursable amount from PhilHealth (Php 20,074.63 versus Php 9000) (p = 0.004). Cost of hospitalization was significantly higher in pay patients versus charity (p = 0.001 for diagnostics, p = 0.005 for treatment and p = 0.001 for room cost), in patients with poorly controlled asthma (p = 0.020 for diagnostics and p = 0.014 for room cost) and those with frequent short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) use (p = 0.001).

Conclusion. Asthma remains an economic burden for the Filipino patient. Persistent SABA use, perceived asthma control of patients and increased expenses associated with an asthma exacerbation admission lead to significant out-of-pocket expenditure.

Published: February 2021

Objective. To determine operating room efficiency for elective ophthalmologic surgeries requiring general anesthesia in a public tertiary institution based on standard efficiency parameters.

Methods. Prospective observational cross-sectional study of randomly selected elective cases requiring general anesthesia from April 2019 to June 2019 in the Department of Ophthalmology of the Philippine General Hospital. A single third-party observer recorded operating room milestones from which efficiency parameters were determined and compared with local and international guidelines and efficiency benchmarks.

Results. A total of fifty cases from the Retina, Plastic, Orbit, Glaucoma, and Motility services were observed. None started on the specified start time of 6:30 a.m., with surgeries starting an average of 52 ± 11.90 minutes after. Across subspecialties, median surgical preparation time was statistically significant (χ2: 12.01, p: 0.02), with the Retina and Orbit services having the most extended duration. Across age groups, pediatric cases had lower mean anesthesia preparation times (t: 2.15, df: 48, p: 0.04) and median trans-out lag times (χ2: 4.56, p: 0.03) than adults. Overall, more than 60% of cases reached targets for induction and surgical lag time. Turnaround for adult and pediatric patients was 75 ± 22.77 minutes and 71 ± 14.91 minutes, respectively. Benchmarking analysis showed that the first case on time, entry lag, and exit lag were below the 50th percentile while the room turnover time was above the 95th percentile.

Conclusion. Ensuring efficiency requires a multidisciplinary team approach. This research can guide administrators in determining interventions to increase operating room efficiency.

In the present context, all the countries are trying to achieve sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). India is also trying to do the same with the help of different initiatives. Among these SDGs, one of the vital SDG is SDG9 which is related with industry, innovation and infrastructure. In the recent years Indian government has published SDG scores and innovation index for all the States. Government in general publishes Public Finance reports which consist of different expenditure for the people and states development. Considering this, it has been tries to find out whether or not the related economic contribution of the states and central government can be helpful to realise and estimate the innovation and SDG9 of the states. By using correlation analysis and linier regression model, it has been found that the significant contribution are found with respect to the research expenditure in agriculture and total research expenditure of the states. The results implied that the state governments should take proper initiative regarding the research expenditure in science and technology, that can enhance innovation capability more.

Published: February 2021

O artigo se propõe a investigar, por meio da análise de trajetórias de sete empreendedores imigrantes brasileiros no Oeste da Austrália, como se deu o processo empreendedor de negócios de comida. Por meio de entrevistas em profundidade e análise documental, os autores oferecem subsídios sobre os recentes fluxos de brasileiros para o Oeste da Austrália, um fenômeno recente e pouco coberto pela literatura acadêmica em português. Ademais, o mesmo também contribui para a literatura do empreendedorismo étnico e imigrante, dado que o contexto brasileiro é menos pesquisado do que o dos imigrantes asiáticos na Austrália. Os resultados particularmente enfocam aspectos da criação e desenvolvimento de negócios do setor alimentício, que se valem da alavancagem étnica, embora sofrendo barreiras no que tocante à sua configuração, e necessidade de adaptação ao público local.
