Participation Mediates the Relationship Between Postconcussive Symptoms and Suicidal Ideation Among Veterans
Authors: Kinney Adam R. , Stephenson Ryan O. , Cogan Alison M. , Forster Jeri E. , Gerber Holly R. , Brenner Lisa A.
Published: April 2022

Importance: Veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and associated symptoms are at risk for suicide. Postconcussive symptoms (PCS) may heighten risk for suicidal thoughts by limiting veterans’ participation.

Objective: To investigate whether participation mediates the relationship between PCS and suicidal ideation.

Design: Cross-sectional, exploratory design. Structural equation models were used to investigate whether participation mediated the relationship between PCS and suicidal ideation.

Setting: Community.

Participants: Veterans with mTBI (N = 145).

Outcomes and Measures: The Ohio State University TBI Identification Method was used to establish mTBI diagnosis. We identified latent variables for PCS and participation using the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory and select domains of the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form–36, respectively. We used the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation to measure the presence of suicidal ideation.

Results: Participation mediated the relationship between PCS and the presence of suicidal ideation (odds ratio [OR] = 1.09, p = .011). More severe PCS were associated with lesser participation (β = –.86, p < .001); greater participation was associated with lower odds of suicidal ideation (OR = 0.92, p = .007).

Conclusions and Relevance: PCS may heighten risk for suicidal thoughts among veterans by limiting successful participation, a primary target of occupational therapy intervention. Thus, the results suggest that occupational therapy practitioners can play a substantial role in suicide prevention services for veterans with mTBI. Preventive services could mitigate suicide risk among veterans with mTBI by enabling sustained engagement in meaningful and health-promoting activity (e.g., reasons for living) and targeting PCS.

What This Article Adds: Researchers have proposed that occupational therapy practitioners can help prevent veteran suicide by supporting their engagement in meaningful, health-promoting activity and by targeting suicide risk factors within their scope of practice. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to offer empirical support for such proposed suicide prevention efforts. Although additional research is needed, these results are promising and highlight a distinct role for occupational therapy in suicide prevention.

Authors: PEREIRA ARIEL DOS SANTOS , JÚNIOR ANTÔNIO OLIVEIRA DA SILVA , MOURA FABRÍCIO DOS SANTOS DE , SILVA EDISLÂNDIO DE ARAÚJO
Published: April 2022

Introdução: A fibromialgia é uma doença dolorosa crônica, não inflamatória, de etiologia desconhecida, que afeta o sistema musculoesquelético, podendo também apresentar sintomas em outros aparelhos. O sintoma que acomete todos os pacientes é a dor difusa e crônica, apresentando locais específicos dolorosos que recebem o nome de tender points. A contração muscular contínua é o principal causador da dor, em decorrência de posturas anormais, aspectos sazonais e fatores emocionais. Desde o seu reconhecimento legal, a técnica shiatsu vem sendo utilizada em todo o mundo. São aplicadas pressões manuais sobre pontos específicos nos músculos e articulações no intuito de prevenir e recuperar a função normal do organismo. Objetivo: Abordar o efeito do Shiatsu em pacientes com fibromialgia com base na literatura vigente. Material e métodos: Este trabalho consiste em uma pesquisa integrativa. Foram utilizadas nas pesquisas artigos encontrados nas plataformas: Pubmed e Scielo. A pesquisa foi realizada entre os meses de Outubro e Novembro de 2021. Foram utilizadas três palavras chaves: Shiatsu, fibromialgia e tender points. Resultados: Todas as bases encontrados, somam um total de 657 artigos, dos quais foram selecionados 30 para leitura. Foram excluídos aqueles que fugiam do tema em questão, sendo assim, foi selecionado 6 artigos, sendo a maioria voltada para a técnica e efeito do Siatsu na fibromialgia. Resultados: A técnica manual equilibra a energia ki do corpo com o uso das técnicas de apertar, alongar e comprimir, sendo estas técnicas eficientes para desbloquear as áreas congestionadas. A técnica do shiatsu atua de forma completa sobre o corpo e a mente, trabalhando em meridianos específicos. Apesar da força exercida sobre a pele em determinados pontos, o paciente não se queixa de desconforto devido a especificidade da técnica. Podemos definir, então, que o shiatsu é uma boa opção no tratamento inicial da Fibromialgia. Conclusão: Pode-se observar que o shiatsu é eficaz para a redução do quadro álgico, melhora na qualidade de vida e diminuição dos pontos dolorosos em pacientes com fibromialgia. Sugere-se que outros estudos na área sejam realizados para que se tenha uma fundamentação mais abrangente sobre o shiatsu no tratamento da fibromialgia.
Spatial History in Southern Asia
Authors: Ludden David
Published: April 2022

Flows and frictions in mobile spaces connecting South and East Asia occupy
spatial histories in monsoon environments that span the arid northern
steppe and the humid southern tropical seas. Many centuries of migration,
trade, travel, and settlement along routes across the Hindu Kush, up and
down the Indo-Ganga Basins, and around Indian Ocean coastal regions
produced expanding cultural spaces, where mobile warriors and local elites
formed strategic alliances and power relations that turned social space into
political territory. Patronage for religious rituals, elites, and knowledge
served to sanctify these power relations. Religion thus became a territorial
technology, and its powers of social boundary-making became more
strident during the mid-twentieth-century shift from more fluidly inclusive
imperial territory to more rigidly exclusionary nation-state territorialism.
Industrial Building: Provincial Entrepreneurs
Authors: Kang Jin-A
Published: April 2022

The construction of state-owned enterprises is one of the outstanding
characteristics of Guangdong finance in the 1930s. Chapter 5 focuses on the
Three-year Plan for the Rejuvenation of the Sugar Industry in Guangdong.
With the most significant amount of invested capital among government
factories, building modern sugar refineries was most successful. To
protect the government sugar mills, the Guangdong provincial government
followed an import substitution policy to impose the Special Tax on
Sugar Imports, which became a significant revenue source. However,
the largest profits came from the sugar monopoly that began in 1934.
Like the traditional salt monopoly, the government took control of local
sugar products and control over the distribution of imports for sales by
licensed merchants.
Welcoming Refugees?
Authors: Dum-Tragut Jasmine
Published: April 2022

The reception of approximately 22,000 refugees from Syria by Armenia has
been widely reported both in the Armenian and foreign press. This has been
internationally lauded, and, as such, has also boosted national pride and
self-confidence. There is, however, an essential difference from the reception
of Syrian refugees in neighbouring Syrian states or Europe: the displaced
Syrians in Armenia are in fact ethnic Armenians. The focus of this study is
the refugee response of the Armenian Apostolic Church, particularly from
the point of view of its traditional role as the ‘preserver of Armenianness
and the Armenian people’, which has been anchored in the constitution of
the present Republic of Armenia. The refugee aid of the Armenian Apostolic
Church will be analysed by reference to research published in both the
international and Armenian scientific literature and public media. The
analysis will take into account responses to the historical refugee waves
during the Armenian Genocide and the Karabakh conflict, and will thus also
consider the changing sociopolitical conditions and the ethical challenges
facing the Armenian Apostolic Church in today’s Republic of Armenia.
Spectacularizing Television, or Making
Sense of Novelty
Authors: Weber Anne-Katrin
Published: April 2022

Two closely related tropes shaped television’s reception throughout the
interwar years, namely the narratives of progress and magic. Underpinning
most press coverage, but also present in specialized publications and
technical reports, these narratives addressed the new medium’s potentialities
as means of seeing at a distance. They provided an explanatory
framework for understanding newness, while simultaneously boosting the
sense of novelty surrounding television. These tropes are discussed in the
chapter’s first section. The chapter’s second part shifts from an analysis
of these discourses surrounding televisual displays to the study of the
exhibits and their mise en scène. Drawing on Frank Kessler’s notion of the
‘spectacular dispositif’, it analyses the ways exhibition floors provided a
visual and sensual spectacle constituting the first televisual experience
for visitors before regular programming would become available.
Locating Television Between
Imaginaries and Materialities
Authors: Weber Anne-Katrin
Published: April 2022

The tension emerging between the televisual imaginary of ‘seeing at a
distance’ and the device’s material reality and site-specificity was at the
core of televisual displays. Drawing again upon the dispositif concept,
the chapter unearths three spatial arrangements, which propose new
spectatorial experiences. The reflexive, the live, and the daylight dispositif
reveal television’s adaptability and elasticity allowing its smooth inclusion
within the expositional space. They unveil how recurrent scenographic
designs negotiated and, eventually, consolidated television’s specificity
as a domestic and live media at the expense of alternative televisual
uses and technologies. The chapter closes with an ‘intermission’; a short
intermediate conclusion that emphasizes the importance of locating
television in public space to understand how exhibition sites actively
shaped the medium’s identity through scenography and discourse.
Objects and their Agency and Itineraries
Authors: Snickare Mårten
Published: April 2022

This chapter frames the second part of the book by discussing the material turn—a
renewed appreciation of matter and materiality in the humanities and social
sciences, and an awareness of objects as something more than mere settings for
human action. Informed by the writings of Jane Bennett, the chapter stresses the
ethical aspects of paying close attention to the materialities of colonial objects,
counterbalancing the ways the objects have been reduced and exposed to colonial
violence. The chapter further introduces the concept of the ‘object itinerary’ as a
methodological and narrative framework for the discussion in Part II.
From North America to Nordamerika:
A Tomahawk
Authors: Snickare Mårten
Published: April 2022

This chapter traces the object itinerary of a tomahawk from its elusive origins on
the North American east coast, via the armoury at Tre Kronor, the old royal palace
in Stockholm, to its present location in the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm.
A careful examination of its shape and materiality proves that the tomahawk was
a creole object from the outset, shaped and given meaning in a colonial contact
zone. Where it is now in the museum, the tomahawk is an example of the desire
of the Western world to collect and control, yet at the same time it manifests the
power of a single object to wriggle free of given categorizations.
Locating the Gothic South
Authors: Horsley Karen
Published: April 2022

The notion of “southern” in the context of screen representation is one
that does not easily conform to demands for geographical authenticity.
In other words, actual filming locations have little bearing on the extent
to which a film or television series can be understood as “southern.” This
chapter clarifies what constitutes “southern” in the Southern Gothic to
determine what makes a given film or television series southern, leading
to the inevitable question, “what makes a film or television series Southern
Gothic?” This is addressed by looking to the various ways in which the
South reveals itself on screen as both an imaginary space that intersects
with its real-world referent, and a visual legacy that constructs the South
around specific Gothic themes and aesthetics.

Published: April 2022

La compra de teléfonos celulares depende de múltiples factores de comportamiento, no obstante, se desconoce la forma precisa de los aspectos que influyen en dicha decisión. Se buscó determinar la relación del factor más influyente del comporta-miento del consumidor con la decisión de compra; para ello se revisaron argumentos teóricos de Kotler y Armstrong, y Koma y Jha. Se utilizó un diseño no experimental correlacional de corte transversal. La población muestral se conformó por 362 participantes a quienes se aplicaron un cuestionario de encuesta. Los resultados demostraron que el factor cultural (marca del último celular), el factor social (deseo del futuro celular), el factor personal (edad) y el psicológico (aprendizaje que me dejó el actual celular) tuvieron un p – valor menor a 0.050, por eso se consideran como los factores más influentes en la decisión de compra; además, indicaron cierto vínculo significativo con características, innovación y precio como aspecto funda-mental dentro de los factores. Se concluyó que los factores influyentes del comportamiento del consumidor se relacionan significativamente con la decisión de compra, donde el coeficiente de contingencia (C), evidenció una dependencia con la innovación (C = 0.318), mientras que el segundo fue la edad con la V de Cramer igual a 0.223.

La quebrada Juninguillo, Moyobamba, en épocas de avenida arroja valores elevados de turbiedad y color. Para disminuirlos sin usar sustancias químicas aplicamos clarificante a base de almidón de yuca, con el fin de disminuir su turbidez y color. Realizamos 9 ensayos con 36 pruebas, todas a diferentes concentraciones y velocidades. El clarificante de yuca removió 48% de color, partiendo del valor inicial; y removió en 50% la turbidez. Demostramos que la sustancia no afecta el pH y que la concentración óptima fue de 1% de almidón en solución, también que los parámetros considerados en esta investigación actuaron de diferente forma y esto se nota en la velocidad; siendo óptima para la turbidez de 150 rpm, en cambio para el color fue de 200 rpm, pero en comparación con la utilización de sulfato de aluminio, el cual ha removido en 85% y 95% para el color y turbidez respectivamente no alcanza los valores estimados por los límites máximos permisibles. Podemos utilizarlo como floculante ayudante combinado con el sulfato de aluminio ayuda a controlar los parámetros de clarificación y pH en la utilización del agente químico

Se evaluó el efecto de dosis bajas de fenoterol en el tratamiento de crisis asmática moderada en niños, mediante un estudio cuasi experimental en el Servicio de Emergencia del Hospital Belén de Trujillo (HBT), septiembre 2015 - agosto 2017. Una población de 90 niños entre 4 años y 14 años 11 meses de edad, de ambos sexos,  con crisis asmática moderada; fueron distribuidos aleatoriamente en 3 grupos, midiéndoseles la función pulmonar inicial mediante Flujo Espiratorio Máximo (PEF),   y se nebulizó cada 20 min por una hora con  fenoterol a los grupos I, II y III a dosis convencional, 75% y 50% de dosis respectivamente; se evaluó  la función pulmonar (PEF) y la función cardiaca (ritmo y frecuencia) 10 min después de cada nebulización. Los resultados fueron validados mediante la prueba t de student, con p<0.05 y la prueba X2 para la comparación grupal con p<0.05. Se cumplió las consideraciones éticas para este tipo de estudio. Los resultados hallados de variación del PEF fueron equiparables entre los Grupos I, II y III (p>0.05). Pero dosis más bajas de fenoterol (grupo III) condiciona significativamente menor alteración del ritmo cardiaco que los Grupos I y II (p<0.005). Se concluyó que a dosis bajas el fenoterol se promueve la recuperación de la función pulmonar con leve alteración de la función cardiaca en niños con crisis asmática moderada

Com este estudo, percebemos o quanto tem crescido industrialmente a região do Agreste pernambucano, principalmente a indústria têxtil e que esta tem se tornado a principal atividade econômica desta região. O setor de beneficiamento de tecidos, no qual se inclui o tingimento, é um dos mais impactantes da esfera têxtil, em função da grande quantidade de água e químicos usados como corantes e fixadores. Desta forma, tem aumentado os problemas ambientais devido ao lançamento de resíduos sólidos e outros dejetos nos rios da região pelas lavanderias. Este estudo teve como objetivo conhecer sobre o tingimento natural e técnicas empregadas para colorir tecidos, utilizando produtos encontrados no comércio da cidade de Caruaru. Para isso, foram empregados alguns tipos de corantes naturais no experimento, com a realização de procedimentos para fixação das cores no tecido, que no nosso caso foi usado o algodão cru. Por meio dos resultados obtidos é possível perceber que, apesar de ser um processo mais lento e artesanal, é perfeitamente possível acontecer se houver, por exemplo, uma desaceleração da moda como ocorre na proposta da tendência slow fashion.

Estuarine morphodynamics and development modified by floodplain formation
Authors: Kleinhans Maarten G. , Roelofs Lonneke , Weisscher Steven A. H. , Lokhorst Ivar R. , Braat Lisanne
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Rivers and estuaries are flanked by floodplains built by mud and vegetation. Floodplains affect channel dynamics and the overall system's pattern through apparent cohesion in the channel banks and through filling of accommodation space and hydraulic resistance. For rivers, effects of mud, vegetation and the combination are thought to stabilise the banks and narrow the channel. However, the thinness of estuarine floodplain, comprised of salt marsh and mudflats, compared to channel depth raises questions about the possible effects of floodplain as constraints on estuary dimensions. To test these effects, we created three estuaries in a tidal flume: one with recruitment events of two live vegetation species, one with mud and a control with neither. Both vegetation and mud reduced channel migration and bank erosion and stabilised channels and bars. Effects of vegetation include local flow velocity reduction and concentration of flow into the channels, while flow velocities remained higher over mudflats. On the other hand, the lower reach of the muddy estuary showed more reduced channel migration than the vegetated estuary. The main system-wide effect of mudflats and salt marsh is to reduce the tidal prism over time from upstream to downstream. The landward reach of the estuary narrows and fills progressively, particularly for the muddy estuary, which effectively shortens the tidally influenced reach and also reduces the tidal energy in the seaward reach and mouth area. As such, estuaries with sufficient sediment supply are limited in size by tidal prism reduction through floodplain formation.

Update on the epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease in Asia: where are we now?
Authors: Park Sang Hyoung
Published: April 2022

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has become a global disease. As IBD is a chronic disease that can result in remarkable morbidity and disability, estimation and understanding the disease burden of IBD is imperative to prepare adequate health care systems. However, variations in IBD incidence or prevalence may reflect differences in the distribution, and there are regional disparities in Asia with a large population of approximately 4.6 billion in 2020, which is equivalent to 60% of the total world population. Although comprehensive understanding of the epidemiology of IBD in Asian countries is difficult, this review includes updated data regarding the incidence and prevalence of IBD and the estimated disease burden in Asia.

Authors: McIlkenny Philip , Opong Kwaku K. , Watson Iain D.
Published: April 2022

This study examines whether significant excess returns accrue to the shareholders of firms coming in and out of the FTSE around the day of the FTSE Steering Committee Meeting. It appears that there is a gradual rise in cumulative excess returns for firms entering the FTSE about nine days before the Steering Committee Meeting takes place. There is slight positive gain in price for firms entering the FTSE. The findings of the study indicate that firms going out of the FTSE experience negative excess returns three days prior to the Steering Committee Meeting, as well as significant abnormal trading activity on some days following the meeting.
Accounting Information Systems: The Role of Management Developed Systems
Authors: Fahy Martin , Murphy Ciaran
Published: April 2022

A major revolution has taken place in the past 25 years in the technology and systems for processing organisational data. Alongside these developments there has been a dramatic growth in the direct use of IT as personal support tools by those in staff and managerial roles. Groups such as accountants, production planners, and others are now developing their own systems to help enhance the role that they play in the organisation.

Despite these developments the focus in accounting research and textbooks remains on accounting information systems - systems developed typically by IS departments. The research reported in this paper is based on interviews with 51 managers (including 26 accountants) in 26 Irish and UK organisations during 1994/95 and sought to examine the role played by Management Developed Systems in organisational planning and control. The results of this research show that in many cases the activities in which managers are engaged are such that it is unlikely that IS staff have the level of knowledge and understanding needed to provide the information/analysis that managers require. Formalised requirements specification by IS staff in many cases acts as a discontinuity in the processing of information during task performance, while Management Developed Systems allow the additional knowledge acquired during task performance to be encompassed in the information processing and decision making.
Returns and Volatility: A Study of the Irish Equity Market
Authors: Choi Tat Y. , Murray Louis
Published: April 2022

In an important advance, Merton (1980) proposed that the development of reliable variance estimation models would play an important part in the study of price volatility. In practice, this implies that pricing models should take account of heteroscedasticity. The development of ARCH models (Engle, 1982) is important, as they do this by specifically defining the changing conditional variance. They have had a tremendous impact on financial research.

This paper examines the relation between stock returns and volatility, using Irish market data. The two basic hypotheses are: (1) that expected returns are positively related to expected volatility, (a higher risk premium would be required in compensation for higher risk exposure). and (2) unexpected returns are purported to be negatively related to unexpected volatility (a higher than average return may cause a decrease in volatility).

Market volatility is examined, using ARMA models. They allow the estimation of expected volatility. Conditional variances are also generated, using a number of variants of the ARCH models. The significance of different possible relationships can then be tested.
Accounting Practice: An Empirical Study of Practitioners’ Experiences N
Authors: Hyndman Noel
Published: April 2022

A number of USA studies have highlighted significant differences between accounting students’ expectations of a career in accounting practice and the actual experiences of practitioners. This phenomenon has been described as occupational reality shock (ORS) and it has been suggested that its existence may lead to, inter alia, excessive staff turnover, low morale of those in accounting practice and failure of accounting firms to attract the best graduates. This study examines whether such a gap exists between students’ expectations and accounting staff experiences in an Irish university context. The results of a cross-sectional study are presented, compared with results of a similar USA study and discussed.
Accountants as Change Managers: Can Education Meet the Challenge?
Authors: Ponton Warwick , Cooper Barry J.
Published: April 2022

Information technology has already released accountants from the mundane bookkeeping tasks of processing, recording and reporting, and has given them more opportunity to become involved in higher level management tasks. As a result, the accountant has moved from ‘financial manager’ to ‘information manager’. This shift is perceived as consistent with the notion or definition of accounting. Yet a more fundamental change is on the horizon. The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) (1992) has identified a further shift from ‘information manager’ to ‘change manager’. In this role, the accountant is a long-term strategic planner; a manager of change, who is responsible for planning and managing technology to the greatest advantage for the organisation or client. This development challenges traditional accounting values, and requires a fundamental re-assessment by individual accountants, the profession, educators and educational institutions of their role.
A Comparison of the Case for the Taxation of Wealth Transfers With Wealth Transfer Taxes as They Exist Today
Authors: Robbins Geraldine
Published: April 2022

This paper assesses whether a gap exists between the theory of wealth transfer taxation as documented in the literature and the reality of wealth transfer taxes as developed by economic policy makers. The paper initially outlines the case for the taxation of wealth transfers as argued in the literature. It proceeds to review the findings of several committees on taxation commissioned by governments to advise on economic policy making, and attempts to link their recommendations with those in the literature reviewed. The paper concludes with an assessment of how economic policy makers have strayed from the guidance provided by the literature and the commissions in designing wealth transfer taxes.

Published: April 2022

In today’s world, digital images are widely used in various domains such as; newspapers, scientific journals, magazines, and many other fields. Unfortunately, today’s digital technology made it easy for digital images to be forged due to the availability of the low cost photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop. Thus, in order to recover people’s trust towards digital images, it is important to develop new trustworthy techniques for digital images forgery detection. In this paper we present a novel fake image detection model where the acquisition method is based on an in-depth, process-based, convolutional neural network (CNN) for automatic learning and identifying independent presentations from color RGB input images. CNN is being used because of the advantages it provides as it performs feature engineering, i.e. feature extraction and feature selection, which was earlier performed using different statistical observations and methods. The research paper discusses transfer learning approach which has its own advantages, as it's a different approach from the custom CNN which was being used in earlier approaches.

Big data analytics gives organizations a way to analyze huge data sets and gather new information. It helps answer basic questions about business operations and business performance. It also helps discover unknown patterns in vast datasets or combinations thereof. In the current data-driven world, it becomes increasingly essential that big data techniques are applied and analyzed for organizational growth. More specifically, with the large availability of data on the Web, whether from social media, websites, online portals, or platforms, to name but a few, it is important for organizations to know how to mine that data in order to extract useful knowledge. Web scraping represents a fundamental approach in this regard. Therefore, this paper aims to provide an updated literature review about the most advanced Web Scraping techniques to better equip scholars and managers with helpful knowledge on how to mine most effectively online data. The paper starts with presenting the basic design of a web scraper and the applications of web scraping in diverse sectors and areas. Next, the different Web scraping methods and Web scraping technologies are presented. Finally, a procedure to develop Web scraping with various tools is proposed before a conclusion wraps up the paper.

Published: April 2022

Intestinal intussusception in a newborn is a casuistic rarity, the clinical symptoms of which are nonspecific, and patients are regarded for a relatively long time as patients with necrotic enterocolitis. There are no unambiguous radiological signs of this  pathology,  especially with  atypical  variants of intussusception, when even pneumoirrigography is uninformative. In the vast majority of cases, the diagnosis is made only intra-operatively, when the development of intestinal obstruction or perforated peritonitis determines the need for surgical intervention. The publication presents a unique observation of preoperative echographic diagnosis and successful cure of prolonged small-intestinal invagination in a premature newborn 2 days of life, the cause of which was Meckel’s diverticulum.

Published: April 2022

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has been extensively studied for its pathophysiology, therapeutic approaches and complications. This case report mentions post-infectious neurological involvement related to SARS-CoV-2 in a young male patient. After a flu-like syndrome and RT-PCR of naso and oropharyngeal swab confirmed for the pandemic virus, the patient evolves with sensory and motor losses in the lower limbs linked to compromised sphincter control. The diagnosis of transverse myelitis in this present study seeks to discuss the association of this complication with the cause of one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century.
