Fertility in the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug
Authors: Arkhangelsky Vladimir N.
Published: April 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of fertility indicators in the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Along with the total fertility rate for all births, the author traces the dynamics of birth order-specific fertility rates, as well as actual cohort fertility rates estimated by 2010 All-Russian census data. Particular attention is paid to the differences between these indicators in urban districts and municipal areas of the region. When considering the possible relationship of fertility indicators with the implementation of regional measures of demographic policy, special attention is paid to third and subsequent births, the level and dynamics of which can be influenced by the amount of regional maternal (family) capital, which is larger in the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug than in other federal subjects of Russia. The results of the analysis show that the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug is among regions with a relatively high level and a young model of fertility. To a greater extent, this manifests itself in the second, third and subsequent births.

Published: April 2021

 

MySpira is the world first augmented reality (AR) asthma inhaler training app; it enables children to learn asthma keywords, types of inhalers, the preparation of the inhaler and spacer, asthma triggers, and develop skills on how to use an asthma inhaler effectively. All of these are compiled into an enjoyable 20-minute experience, introducing likable characters and tactile interactions, which incentivise the child to progress all the way through the learning experience. This  study aimed to compare the efficacy of the MySpira application to traditional educational material (e.g. leaflets and videos) to improve asthma treatment compliance, technique and user engagement amongst 110 schoolchildren, aged 6 to 13. The findings indicate that MySpira surpasses the traditional educational materials, specifically in terms of enjoyment rating, the use of different inhalers’ techniques, particularly in the younger group (aged 6-9 years). Therefore, MySpira may enhance the level of available asthma care in an attempt to resolve one of the major problems facing asthma suffers and their carers, notably effective use of asthma inhalers.

Das „Zentrum“ und die Literatur von den „Rändern“. Die Rezeption der Literatur der deutschen Minderheiten in Deutschland und Österreich
Authors: Scheichl Sigurd Paul
Published: April 2021

Wenige Autoren und Autorinnen aus den deutschen Sprachinseln Österreich-Ungarns, Rumäniens, Russlands usw. fanden Leser und Leserinnen in Deutschland und Österreich, mit Ausnahme jener, die aus ihrer Heimat dahin übersiedelt waren. Gründe dafür sind einerseits die Orientierung der Bücher am Publikum in den Sprachinseln, andererseits das Desinteresse der Verlage an den manchmal etwas altmodischen Werken. Allein die Nationalsozialisten förderten aus politischen Gründen die Drucklegung von Büchern aus den betreffenden Regionen. Nach 1945 hat sich das durch die Übersiedlung vieler Autoren und Autorinnen aus den Sprachinseln in die Bundesrepublik geändert.

Published: April 2021

Background: Extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) are a serious challenge to patients’ treatment. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of ESBL-PE, investigate the associated resistance, and analyze the associated risk factors for acquisition of ESBL-PE.Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted on healthy volunteers and inpatients. After obtaining informed consent, rectal swabs were collected from each participant for isolation of Enterobacteriaceae on Hektoen enteric agar containing 4µg/L cefotaxime. The Enterobacteriaceae isolates were identified using biochemical tests and ESBL production was confirmed by the double-disc synergy test of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Antibiotic susceptibility test of each isolate was done by the disc diffusion method and interpreted using the recommendations of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) clinical  breakpoints version 5.0.Results: During the study period, prevalence of faecal ESBL-PE among the study participants was 54.5% (103/189); 53.5% among healthy volunteers and 55.7% among inpatients (p=0.87). The major ESBL-PE isolates was Escherichia coli (71%) followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (16%). The isolates in hospitalized patients were resistant to norfloxacin (84.2%), cotrimoxazole (89.5%), and gentamicin (7.0%). The isolates from healthy volunteers were resistant to norfloxacin (86.2%), cotrimoxazole (82.8%), and gentamicin (1.7%).Gender, age, and previous antibiotic use were not significantly associated with carriage of ESBL-PE (p=0.51).Conclusion: The high prevalence of ESBL-PE in this study is worrying. There is an urgent need to develop measures to monitor and limit the spread of these multidrug-resistant organisms in healthcare facilities and the community in Burkina Faso.

Published: April 2021

The study sought to determine the methods used to participate the community in school infrastructure projects. It also examined the extent and effectiveness of the community education committee participation process. Done as a cross-sectional survey using mixed methods of inquiry, the study targeted 1002 respondents consisting of 920 headteachers and 82 officers in charge of District Education (DEOs) in Somaliland. The sample comprised 257 headteachers and 22 DEOs. Multi stage sampling was used. Purposive sampling was used to draw a sample of regions, stratified random sampling to draw a sample of headteachers while simple random sampling was used to draw a sample of DEOs. Pilot testing of the questionnaire was done on 28 headteachers. DEOs were interviewed while Headteachers filled questionnaires. Reliability of the questionnaire was ensured using Cronbach alpha. Empirical literature review, peer review and pilot testing were used to ensure validity. The response was received from 20 DEOs and 247 headteachers. Thematic analysis was used to analyse interview data collected from DEOs. Headteachers data collected by questionnaire were analysed using descriptive statistics. Participating the community in decision-making, offering free labour and and fundraising were the leading methods of participating communities in school infrastructure projects. Communities perceived full ownership of completed school infrastructure projects. Community members were satisfied with the schools‘ participation process. Most schools had realized their community participation goals. The CEC process was just one of the numerous ways the community participated in school infrastructure projects. The CEC participation method was largely working and realising its goals. More school development could be realised if the CEC participation process was further strengthened.
Environmental and social injustices in East Africa: A critique of the modernization approach to environmental communication
Authors: Jjuuko Margaret
Published: April 2021

The existing environmental injustices in the world have often been linked to industrialisation and modernisation of nations. In a bid to develop and modernise their nations, East African governments have adopted neoclassical developmentalist ideals of 'modernization' and 'capital investments‘, which largely involve exploitation of natural and human resources. The consequence is rampant and severe environmental degradation and related impacts in the region. While environmental degradation impacts affect all people residing in the region, the poor are hit hardest since they do not have ways to deal with disasters; hence, it becomes an environmental and a social justice issue. Although mass media are viewed as change agents and key players in the development agenda, and are often tasked to communicate information as widely as possible, these have adopted hierarchical and top down approaches to environmental and social justice issues and, in the process, helped to deepen the existing inequalities in society. From perspectives of Development Communication, this article critiques modernization discourses to development including: 'Top-down experts of development‘, 'Blaming the victim‘ and 'Social Darwinism‘. The purpose is to demonstrate how the East African media deploy this framework to (mis)represent environmental issues leading to aggravated environmental and social injustices in these societies. The article argues for a 'solution journalism approach‘ to environmental communication, whereby media as advocates of development, focus more on the contextual factors within which environmental issues and problems transpire.

The paper presents the results of determining the 137Cs content in the biomass of the lichen Hypogymnia physodes, which growing in pine forests on the territory of the Gomel region with various levels of radioactive contamination.The research was carried out both in conditionally clean and radioactively contaminated areas with 137Cs soil contamination density from 37 to 1488 kBq m-2. The high accumulating capacity of the lichen Hypogymnia physodes in relation to 137Cs was shown, as well as an increase in the concentration of the radionuclide in the lichens biomass with an increase in the density of soil contamination. Differences in 137Cs accumulation by the lichen Hypogymnia physodes, growing in uneven-aged pine stands, were noted. The lowest concentrations of 137Cs were noted in the samples growing in mature pine forests, while thalli sampled from young pine stands contain significant amounts of the radionuclide.
Roles of Articles in Agabag, a Dayic Language of North Borneo
Authors: Radjaban Yohanes
Published: April 2021

As an article simply plays a syntactic role in a language, it is often overlooked in a linguistic research on syntax (Farrell 2005). If it happens to Austronesian languages like Agabag, it will be a fatal mistake since an article has significant roles (Hudson 1978). The discussion of this paper is aimed at describing the roles of articles in Agabag. Generative-Transformational Approach is applied for the sake of descriptive and explanatory adequacies (Haegeman 1991). All processes of analyses are based on transformational principles, which involve theories of head-modifiers relations, which are also used to describe the structures and patterns of articles in Agabag. The analyses of this research result in some findings. Agabag language has articles which function as a determiner of an NP and become role assigners to the NP. The interpretation of the articles of Agabag is based on their function as a determiner as well as role-assigners to the NP. As a determiner, articles of Agabag are interpreted as ‘this’ and ‘that’. As a role assigner each article is interpreted according to the role it assigns. If agreement between articles and NPs in most languages relies on gender and number, in Agabag it is based on the roles of NP (Radjaban 2013).

The process of running a trading business, businesses must always update information on market competition that occurs. Running a trading business is not just opening a business place and waiting for consumers to shop. Consumers will lightly come to shopping places to shop for various reasons. From cheap prices, attractive arrangements, large parking lots, to the ease of finding items to buy. From these problems, business people will compete on how to easily attract customers to their place of business. One way to solve these problems is by structuring merchandise with the aim of customers to easily get the items they are looking for. One way to solve these problems is by structuring merchandise with the aim of customers to easily get the items they are looking for. Arrangements that are made do not originate from arranging the location of goods according to taste but are carried out on the basis of trends or trends in goods purchased by consumers when shopping. This process is often referred to as the "Data Mining" process is one of the effective methods for finding consumers' preferences to choose the items they buy. This process can be completed using the Apriori algorithm. The principle used by the Apriori algorithm is that if an itemset appears frequently, then all subset of itemset must also appear frequently. This results in repeated checking and will require a short time. Problems that require a short time, a method is proposed, namely by developing to be able to reduce the travel time of the process. The length of time that occurs in the process of calculating the value of support and confidance and the repetition process to find the value. The method used is to manipulate the use of query languages with a k-way join research approach so that the optimal query language arrangement can be obtained. The results obtained in this study are that execution times are relatively faster, with the results of the same association rules as those produced by the Priori method without any development or modification.

Published: April 2021

The case in the metal casting process is when the metal is melted and then poured into a liquid metal reservoir and then poured into a pouring tool and then poured into a mold. In the process of pouring into the mold is still using manual equipment, namely by using wood which ends have a container such as a bucket ( bucket)) made of a mixture of white cement, brick fire sand and clay and the metal liquid pouring tool has a length of 1.5 cm, a weight of 5 kg with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of a container for liquid metal 20 cm does not include the load. If the pouring device filling with liquid metal, then the weight reaches ± 20 kg, with a weight of ± 20 kg the worker must pour the liquid continuously into the mold and at least each worker must go back and forth 6 times pouring metal liquid into a mold in a single combustion process.

Based on the nordic body map questionnaire data as many as 8 workers felt pain in the shoulder and arm because the burden was born, resulting in workers often feel pain in the muscles of the arms and back. Because the wooden handle used to pour metal liquid is too slippery (exposed to sweat), so there is a need for improvement in activities.

From the results of the above observations, it is necessary to design ideas for new work facilities. It expects to affect the improvements related to the position of the hand in the process of pouring liquid into the mold. Then the design idea needs to be done in the form of a casting tool that has been modified and can be used according to user needs and can be said to be ergonomic, safe, and comfortable. The method used in designing castings is quality function deployment and anthropometric techniques.

Published: April 2021

Money market instruments play a crucial role in the growth and development of the Nigerian economy. Still, it is not yet vibrant and constrained by the absence of sub-markets and availability of adequate credit instruments required for the smooth operations of the market. The study examine the impact of money market instruments (Treasury bill, Treasury certificates, Certificate of Deposits, Banker’s Acceptances, Development Stock and Commercial Papers) on Economic growth based on secondary data sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin and National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) publications for 30 years. The study employed statistical techniques such as ADF, Unit Root Test, OLS, multiple-regression and Granger Causality Test to analysis data collected for the study covering the period 1990-2020. The study observed that Bank acceptance and Commercial paper granger cause Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Treasury bill, Treasury certificate and commercial papers have a positive relationship with GDP, but its effect is insignificant in the long run. But banker’s acceptance and certificate of deposits has a positive and significant effect on GDP in the long run. In contrast, development stock has no significant effect on GDP in the short and the long run with no granger causal relationship with GDP. The study therefore recommends that Nigerian money market should be reformed in line with the current globalization trend and internationalization of the money market to allow a flow of foreign investment into the economy and also increase the number of tradable instruments in the market.

Context-Aware Short-Term Interest First Model for Session-Based Recommendation
Authors: Duan Haomei , Zhu Jinghua
Published: April 2021

In the case that user profiles are not available, the recommendation based on anonymous session is particularly important, which aims to predict the items that the user may click at the next moment based on the user's access sequence over a while. In recent years, with the development of recurrent neural network, attention mechanism, and graph neural network, the performance of session-based recommendation has been greatly improved. However, the previous methods did not comprehensively consider the context dependencies and short-term interest first of the session. Therefore, we propose a context-aware short-term interest first model (CASIF).The aim of this paper is improve the accuracy of recommendations by combining context and short-term interest. In CASIF, we dynamically construct a graph structure for session sequences and capture rich context dependencies via graph neural network (GNN), latent feature vectors are captured as inputs of the next step. Then we build the shortterm interest first module, which can to capture the user's general interest from the session in the context of long-term memory, at the same time get the user's current interest from the item of the last click. In the end, the short-term and long-term interest are combined as the final interest and multiplied by the candidate vector to obtain the recommendation probability. Finally, a large number of experiments on two real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

Published: April 2021

La incorporación de las herramientas digitales a la educación es hoy un hecho evidente. En los últimos años una de las que ha cobrado gran relevancia es la realidad aumentada. El empleo de esta viene determinado por diversos factores que mediatizan su utilización, debido a la gran variedad de modalidades en las que se presenta y al hecho de estar disponible para todos los usuarios, lo que hace que su incorporación a la metodología docente pueda ser posible. En este artículo presentamos una propuesta de uso de la realidad aumentada en el aula de infantil. A través de la aplicación ChromVille, se presenta una acción de innovación docente para el desarrollo del contenido curricular del cuerpo humano. Mediante el diseño de actividades de motivación y desarrollo, el alumnado verá reforzado el contenido presentado de manera amena y motivadora. Para la evaluación del aprendizaje se propone, también, una rúbrica de carácter inicial y final, con el fin de determinar los conocimientos previos a la acción docente y los adquiridos mediante ella. El principal resultado alcanzado ha sido la consolidación del contenido aprendido mediante metodologías tradicionales a corto plazo. Por otra parte, el mayor hándicap fue la no disponibilidad de los recursos digitales para todos los participantes. No obstante, la conclusión a la que se ha podido llegar es que el empleo de la realidad aumentada desde las etapas iniciales del aprendizaje aumenta la motivación por la adquisición del contenido por parte del alumno.

Published: April 2021

O estudo teve por objetivo geral avaliar se houve impacto relevante na perda estimada com créditos de liquidação duvidosa (PECLD) com a nova regulação contábil, o CPC 48, que modificou a sistemática de apuração, de um modelo pautado em perdas incorridas para outro em perdas esperadas, em companhias abertas classificadas no setor de Consumo Cíclico da B3. Foram realizados testes estatísticos com dados trimestrais do ano anterior à norma, 2017, com os trimestres correspondentes do ano inicial da norma, 2018. Também foram analisados, com as mesmas premissas, a PECLD de empresas auditadas e não auditadas por Big Four e de companhias enquadradas e não enquadradas em níveis diferenciados de governança corporativa da B3. Os testes estatísticos realizados mostram que a PECLD dos trimestres de 2018 foram estatisticamente diferentes dos valores apurados pela sistemática anterior, evidenciando que a mudança parece ter contribuído para refletir melhor cenário. O mesmo foi apurado ao se considerar as companhias auditadas pelas Big Four e que apresentavam classificação em níveis diferenciados de governança. O estudo contribui com as entidades reguladoras e usuários da informação contábil ao mostrar que, na amostra pesquisada, a mudança da prática fazia-se necessária, pois houve alteração relevante nos números da PECLD em comparação ao cenário anterior. O estudo abre caminhos para novas investigações que contemplam essa rubrica contábil como, por exemplo, nas de gerenciamento de resultado, que a utilizam como proxy em alguns de seus modelos.

Published: April 2021

O estudo tem como objetivo analisar a configuração do conteúdo informacional divulgado nos formulários de referência relacionado aos fatores de risco das empresas do setor elétrico diante de uma crise hídrica os quais foram categorizados conforme Resolução da CVM 480/2009. Para a análise dos dados, utilizou-se da técnica de estatística descritiva, teste não paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis, além da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciaram que há uma diversidade de riscos divulgada pelas companhias. Contudo, esta divulgação, mesmo que em tese, atenda os aspectos normativos, é realizada predominantemente de forma narrativa e descritiva, sem ser consubstanciada em números e valores. Assim, muitos riscos evidenciados servem apenas como alerta, fazendo com que as empresas não divulgam o nível em que sua ocorrência é suscetível. São exemplos de riscos divulgados: (i) decisões desfavoráveis em processos judiciais; (ii) impossibilidade de implementar totalmente a estratégia dos negócios e (iii) influência significativa do acionista controlador e possíveis conflitos de interesse. Além disso, as companhias evidenciaram acerca dos cenários hidrológico e político atípicos no Brasil, a forte influência do Governo no setor e a insuficiência de eletricidade e consequente racionamento. Os resultados também revelam que as empresas praticamente não alteram suas políticas de evidenciação de um período para o outro e que existe certa padronização das informações divulgadas nos três períodos analisados, independente do cenário político, econômico e social.

When different types of rights are discussed, then there are some such rights in which the owner of the truth is the essence of the blessed and Almighty, and there are some rights in which the owner of the right is a servant and a human being while some rights are those, which in a sense the owner of the right is the blessed and exalted, but in other sense he is a slave and subordinate.Scholars  say that there are four types of truth in terms of the owner of truth and some have stated three, whereas some jurists have stated only two types of truth.In this study, a research review about the distribution of rights has been presented in the relevance  of truth owner.
Profesionalización de la acupuntura y sus implicaciones en la salud de los pacientes
Authors: Alba Leonel Adela
Published: April 2021

Introducción: la acupuntura humana es una terapia complementaria en la atención para la salud. Derivado de su alta demanda en gran parte del mundo la OMS fijo su postura a favor de la Medicina Tradicional y Complementaria (MTC) con la publicación “Estrategia sobre medicina tradicional 2014-2023”, ésta se centra en dos objetivos: brindar apoyo a los Estados Miembros en la contribución de la MTC en la salud, bienestar y atención centrada en las personas y promover su utilización de forma segura y eficaz; mediante la reglamentación de productos, prácticas y profesionales capacitados.
Desarrollo: la estrategia plantea la necesidad de que toda práctica de MTC sea realizada con formación universitaria, sin embargo, solo el 30% de los países miembros (39) cuentan con ella universitaria y 56% (72) tienen reglamentos para su práctica en acupuntura. En México se imparten diversos cursos y diplomados de MTC, a nivel técnico, licenciatura, especialidad y posgrado, con diferentes horas curriculares. Asimismo, cuenta con políticas de regulación sobre acupuntura y sus técnicas.
Conclusión: la acupuntura tiene sustento científico en la anatomía y neurofisiología. Debe ser aplicada por profesionales del área de salud y con formación certificada por una institución de reconocido prestigio.

Gênero é um componente característico das relações sociais e que se imiscui com as relações de poder, sobretudo, no mundo do trabalho. A presença feminina no mercado de trabalho intensificou-se nas últimas décadas, no entanto, as atividades exercidas ainda reproduzem estereótipos de gênero construídos socialmente. A partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, o presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a produção científica, do período de 2009 a 2019, da base Scielo e dos anais de eventos promovidos pela ANPAD (Associação Nacional do Cursos de Pós-graduação em Administração), relacionada a inserção de mulheres no mercado de trabalho, principalmente em espaços predominantemente masculinos. O presente trabalho verificou que na Área de Administração há uma predominância de estudos qualitativos, com autoria majoritariamente feminina. A maior parte dos artigos que debate relações de gênero é de autoria de mulheres doutoras. Ademais, a análise dos artigos revelou que as mulheres ainda dão preferência a carreira pública, principalmente pela estabilidade financeira.

Analytical solutions for mantle flow in cylindrical and spherical shells
Authors: Kramer Stephan C. , Davies D. Rhodri , Wilson Cian R.
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Computational models of mantle convection must accurately represent curved
boundaries and the associated boundary conditions of a 3-D spherical shell,
bounded by Earth's surface and the core–mantle boundary. This is also true for
comparable models in a simplified 2-D cylindrical geometry. It is of
fundamental importance that the codes underlying these models are carefully
verified prior to their application in a geodynamical context, for which
comparisons against analytical solutions are an indispensable tool. However,
analytical solutions for the Stokes equations in these geometries, based upon
simple source terms that adhere to physically realistic boundary conditions,
are often complex and difficult to derive. In this paper, we present the analytical
solutions for a smooth polynomial source and a delta-function forcing, in combination
with free-slip and zero-slip boundary conditions, for both 2-D cylindrical- and 3-D
spherical-shell domains. We study the convergence of the Taylor–Hood (P2–P1) discretisation
with respect to these solutions, within the finite element computational modelling framework
Fluidity, and discuss an issue of suboptimal convergence in the presence of discontinuities.
To facilitate the verification of numerical codes across the wider community, we provide a
Python package, Assess, that evaluates the analytical solutions at arbitrary points of the domain.
